So often, our hurts, hang-ups, and struggles become dormant in our hearts as we pursue careers and family. But they inevitably come to the surface over time in marriage and parenting. While this can be extremely difficult, it is ultimately a good thing. God desires to bring these elements of our lives out into the open for intimacy with Himself and our marriage.

This has been the case in my marriage, and we continue to experience God’s grace and truth through the Bible and our church community. What we are learning, and I hope to communicate in counseling, is that Christ is sufficient to meet our deepest needs. More importantly, only Christ, and nothing else, can be sufficient.

I live in Conroe with my wife of eleven years, Rachel, and our two children, Zeke and Blythe, where we attend Church Project North County. In addition to being a counselor and financial coach with Marriage Revolution, I am a professional trombonist and trombone teacher serving as Lecturer of Trombone at Sam Houston State University and a member of the Austin Symphony Orchestra. 

I hold music degrees from Texas Tech University and Southern Methodist University. Between those degrees, I completed a Certificate of Graduate Studies during two years at Dallas Theological Seminary. I received Biblical counseling training through the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) and The Association Of Biblical Counselors (ABC).
