Kansas City, MO
Before entering full-time ministry, I served in a variety of volunteer roles at Evangelist Center Church, a non-denominational church located in Kansas City, MO. I joined the adult worship team as a teenager and spent several years learning to play a collection of instruments in a range of musical styles. While in college I was asked to serve as the youth worship leader and soon thereafter began leading adult services as well. This integral part of my development helped me understand how to serve under leadership while balancing the demands of a full-time corporate position and later a growing family.
