Health before hustle
Sustainable ministry begins with healthy leaders, not relentless activity.

I believe clarity is an act of care.
Because healthier decisions create healthier leaders—and healthy leaders build healthy churches.
My story
More than two decades inside the work.
I’ve served as a pastor, church planter, coach, communicator, fundraiser, and organizational leader. I know the weight of ministry decisions because I’ve lived them—not from the sidelines, but alongside teams and leaders who deeply care about getting it right.
Since founding Coaching.Church in 2018, I’ve coached churches across the United States and internationally on five continents. I also serve as Director of Development for Pastors Collective, helping strengthen the people and partnerships that support pastors in their calling.
Across those roles, I kept seeing the same thing: most churches aren’t short on vision, passion, or ideas. What they often lack is the space and perspective to see what matters most.
Today, I help ministry leaders slow down long enough to see clearly, ask better questions, align their teams, and move forward with confidence.
I’m also writing a book exploring how every person can be most productive in the area that matters most—the health of our souls.
What guides the work
Clarity before momentum
Moving faster only helps when you know you are moving in the right direction.
Questions before answers
The best strategy often begins by naming the question everyone has been avoiding.
Simple before complex
Complexity is the enemy of execution. A clear plan should make action easier.
Stewardship before imitation
Your church’s calling—not someone else’s model—should shape your decisions.
Why it matters
Ministry should help you live well and finish strong.
This work is personal. I want pastors to lead churches they love without losing themselves, their families, or their joy in the process.
I’m grateful to share life with my wife, Erin, and our three children. They keep me grounded, remind me what health looks like beyond a meeting room, and are a big part of why this mission matters to me.
