After spending a summer at Officer Candidate School in the Marine Corps and dedicating 10 years to practicing law as a trial attorney in both Kentucky and Indiana, I decided to leave it all behind. In 2002, I took the leap to plant and lead Lifepointe Church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Then, in 2008, I assumed the role of Lead Pastor at Discovery Church Colorado in Colorado Springs, a struggling church plant with around 100 members at the time. Over the course of the next 5 years, Discovery experienced remarkable growth, expanding to over 1400 attendees. We were honored to be recognized as one of Outlook Magazine’s 100 fastest-growing churches in America in both 2014 and 2015. My incredible wife, Stacy, my hero, and I have celebrated 40 years of marriage. Together, we're blessed with 4 wonderful daughters, three sons-in-law, and 9 amazing grandchildren. Additionally, I am proud to be one of the founding leaders of COSILoveYou, an organization and movement dedicated to uniting and empowering the local church in Colorado Springs to demonstrate the tangible love of Jesus to everyone in the city, with no strings attached. Today, over 100 churches in Colorado Springs are actively involved in this movement.Admitted to the Kentucky Bar October 1993Admitted to the Indiana Bar June 1996
