Hometown: Tampa, Florida

Fun Fact: My daughter, Emma, was born on my birthday.

Favorite Food: Appetizers

Why I'm Passionate About Fitness: My passion is to send people off into their ministry fully equipped; spiritually, mentally and physically. Often times the physicality of ministry gets overlooked. Too many people will face and suffer from burn-out once they are launched out onto the ministry battlefield. Statistics speak for themselves: 1 in 10 will retire from ministry, the rest will have quit.  I desire to be a small part in helping to reverse these numbers. As soldiers of Christ, enlisted into His army, we need to be fully suited in His armor upon leaving the training camp. 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

Fav Food: pad see ew or any curry

Fun Fact: I was born in the garage

Degree: None from Asbury

Why I’m passionate about fitness: Working out and pushing the limits of what I think are physically possible have often been a part of my holistic worship rhythms. As a collegiate athlete and then as an avid mountain trail runner, I was consistently in awe of how God created us to move. Each lap I swam in practice, each switchback of the mountain, offered opportunities for worship and praise. Every moment in a gym or outside helped quiet my restless mind, drawing me closer to God. Now in Spin Class, our community gets to dance and laugh and push ourselves together, a fun way to celebrate and worship God here at ATS
