"Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down, because you told them the truth. And that truth is: that you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could have done... If you can do that gentlemen - - then you're perfect."

Bio:
I was born in Amherst, Ohio on August 13. I was raised in church but took a little detour from 7th grade - 9th grade.  I got involved in youth ministry as a worship leader and student leader around 9th or 10th grade and felt God calling me into ministry. The church I attended brought me on as a Youth Intern and I eventually became Youth Leader. I had the awesome opportunity to minister to the students at First Assembly of God in Vermilion for 2 1/2 years. When I turned 18 I got married to my beautiful wife and high school sweetheart and against all advice we decided to have a baby -- We couldn't be more thrilled. In August of 2009 I received the great privilege to become the Associate Pastor at Fresh Wind where I am leading Solomon's Porch Youth Ministry. I believe that God is calling us to do an extraordinary work in young people's live all across Lorain County. This journey is going to be exciting, and we're willing to go wherever God chooses to lead us.
