I began working with youth and their families in 1994 and in 1998 I came the Church at Braden River as the Youth Minister. My wife and I have been in this together and it is our life. There is nothing more satisfying than to see "our kids" grow up, graduate, get married and start their own families. Our goal in ministry is to receive graduation and birth announcements from the grandchildren of the kids who are with us now. Ministry is about doing life together.  I co-pastored in '09 and '10 and became the pastor in July of 2010.  We're still doing life together
