I am a mud man filled with the glory of God because of the work of Christ. I am trying to live in the tension of this beautiful paradox. I was raised in California, educated in Iowa, married in Kentucky, had three kids in Missouri, and now live in Illinois with my lovely wife, Lauren, and all three of my incredible kids (see the links below). I am a believer in Jesus and serve him as the lead pastor of Trailhead Church in Edwardsville, IL.
