My wife, daughter, and I moved here from Indianapolis in 2007 to start a home building company with five other couples from Indiana. While home building was a catalyst to come to Charlotte, all of us felt a sense of calling to come here. We were (and are) following our hearts to where we felt the Lord was calling us. My wife and I are involved in our church and love to do Kingdom work. I have been very involved in a mens ministry (www.missionuprising.com) for the last 5 years and currently serve on the Board of Directors for Mission Uprising. It was through this ministry that I met Nick Wimmer. I was leading a Tuesday night mens group and Charles Wimmer was in attendance. He introduced me to Nick when a group of men came to the island to pray over the island and for Nick and his family. Nick and I have stayed in touch since then and I have followed the progress of Camp Canaan closely. I was blessed to serve on the Board at Genesis Church in Indianapolis, IN. When we moved to Charlotte, I served on the Acquisition Board for Elevation Church in 2008. My family and I currently attend Southbrook Church in Weddington where I have lead a mens group through a 6 week series and will started another in January 2010. Through our business I am responsible for creating and sustaining the vision, mission, and values of the company along with leading each functional area to achieving their goals.
