About
I am a worship leadership student at Evangel University, and I am graduating in the spring of 2026. I am in search of a worship pastoral position. I am currently residing in Springfield,
Missouri, but I am a citizen of Milton, Wisconsin. My goal is to build a God-centered worship environment that focuses on developing the next generation of worship leaders, to grow spiritually alongside a team of God-honoring individuals, and to lead others into a time of spirit-led worship during each service.
