I am a husband to a wonderful wife (Amy) and have five wonderful children(Carissa, Abigail, Joella, Dakota, and Colton). Growing up in NW, Ohio, I developed a love for God and rural communities. After pursuing ministry education (BA in Pastoral - 2010,  Moody Bible Institute; MDiv- 2015,  Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) in Chicago, IL, I accepted the call to serve as pastor of the Carter Gospel Fellowship in May 2015 through the ministry of Rural Homes Missionary Association. Apart from ministry, I love to play music, hunt, fish, and be in the outdoors. 

My Life Verse: “Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this, I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.”     (Colossians 1:28–29 ESV)
