During my military service, and through the influence of mentors, I was inspired to pursue business. I earned my business degree at the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and went on to work in financial management and to manage teams in California, New York, and Washington. I wasn’t really walking with the Lord at the time, but through a series of events, He got a hold of my heart and I decided to live fully for Him.
The Lord led me to attend Antioch Bible Church and He used that time to root and establish me in the faith and grow me spiritually. It was at Antioch that I met and married my wife, Cori, and we started our family.
Since then, we have become business owners and God has blessed us with the ability to provide jobs and leadership for our company. We spent several years serving at another local church in their life group and children’s ministries. I spent several years leading a men’s Bible study and currently lead a life group in our home.
In the fall of 2015, my wife and I began talking with Pastor James and Linda about the possibility of starting a church. We believe God led us to start Montage with His blessing and His gifting. We are excited about the people God has already drawn to this church and we believe He has big plans to reach our community.
When I’m not involved in thinking up my next business idea, you might find me cheering on the football team at Husky stadium, playing Madden on Xbox, or playing on the golf course.
