Husband & Dad. My wife and I spend most of our time chasing around our four wonderful and energetic children. 

Pastor. I am the Senior and Founding Pastor of City Church, where I've served since 2013. Previously, I  served at Chapelgate Presbyterian Church in Marriottsville, MD and at Valley Presbyterian Church in Lutherville, MD. I became an ordained minister in the PCA in 2012. I've also had the privilege of working with Serve the City Baltimore, Young Life, FOCUS and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 

Professor. I am currently a member of the adjunct facility (Religious Studies Department) at the Notre Dame of Maryland University in Baltimore, MD and Stevenson University in Owings Mills, MD. I am also a member of the Teaching Faculty at the Metro Baltimore Seminary.

Coach. I've been coaching Cross Country and Track & Field for 20 years. Currently, I am the Head Cross Country / Asst. Track & Field Coach at Roland Park Country School in Baltimore, MD. I also try my hand at coaching little-league baseball every Spring.

I was born in San Jose, California. Yes, I am a 49ers fan. I am the oldest of two children in my family. I enjoy all sorts of music and reading about technology and playing with said technology. I also enjoy golfing and playing softball and volleyball in Rec leagues. I currently work for the School of Pharmacy at Notre Dame of Maryland doing IT support and I previously worked at Apple. I have been involved with City Church since Patrick first started asking people to be part of a new church plant in Baltimore. I worked with him in youth ministry at Chapelgate Presbyterian Church and when he announced to us that they were asking him to plant in Baltimore, I just knew that it was something I should be doing. As Worship Arts Director, I lead worship at City Church and coordinate all our volunteers who help lead worship as well as those that help with setting up and taking down our equipment every Sunday. What I love about Baltimore City is how diverse it can be, how there is so much change from one block to the next, and how you can see the love for the city in all its residents.

Wife & Mom

Being wife to my husband, and mother to our high-energy boys, is my great joy. My husband is my best friend and prayer partner. We enjoy travel, theater, history documentaries, baseball games, hiking, and team parenting. Being a parent is simultaneously exhausting and exhilarating, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m always happy to receive tips for child-friendly venues and resources!

My educational background is in nursing science (Associates - Doctorate) at University of Illinois Chicago. My clinical practice background includes global and migrant health, university hospital nursing, and biomedical research.

City Kids

As City Kids Director, I am passionate to come alongside parents, as you nurture and guide your child’s faith journey. My aim is that your family will be encouraged and excited as you grow together in a deeper love for Jesus and each other. To that end, I am always looking for creative, excellent, and engaging resources that will help parents and children experience the beauty of our Creator and the power of the Gospel.

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”  Philippians 1:9-11
