North Campus

I was born in Sedalia, Missouri, but from the ages of 3 to 18, I lived in Fort Worth, TX. I felt called to ministry when I was in middle school. Upon graduating high school, I attended Abilene Christian University from 1997-2002. There I graduated with a degree in Youth and Family Ministry.

After moving out of Abilene for a few years, the Lord brought us back to the Big Country in 2009, where I worked at my alma mater, ACU. In the spring of 2017, I received a surprising phone call from one of the pastors at Beltway Park; offering me the opportunity to work here. So, in May of 2017, I began working as the Outreach Pastor at Beltway. In December of 2017, I became the Groups and Guest Services Pastor and early in 2021, I was asked to serve as the North Campus Pastor, the role where I serve now.

My beautiful wife Angela and I were married in 2004. She is my best friend; the one I confide in day after day. We have 2 children, Jayden and Laney. These two have brought unbelievable joy to our lives. I am truly grateful that my children get to grow up at Beltway Park. It thrills my heart to know that they are being taught the Word, they are encouraged to worship Jesus and shown how to love others, just like God loves each of us.

For those that know me, they know that I have never met a stranger. I would say that I am an extravert of extraverts. You can often find me in the foyer or at the back of the worship center welcoming people into our building. My heart’s desire is for it to become increasingly difficult for people to live in Abilene and the Big Country and not hear about who Jesus is.

I serve as the Associate Missions & Outreach Pastor, as well as the Research Associate to Pastor David.  I moved to Abilene to attend ACU in 2014, and have been at Beltway Park since then, most recently joining the staff in 2018.  I have the opportunity to help create outreach opportunities for our church, connecting with our various ministry partners, and researching for Pastor David’s sermons.

My hobbies and interests include Longhorn football, cooking out, traveling, spending time with friends, and fantasy football. In my free time I love to do any of those things, as well as spend lots of time with my wife (Victoria) and our dog (Winston).

My heart is for Abilene, the Big Country area, and the nations to be saturated with the message of Jesus and the power of His resurrection.  I desire to help Beltway Park usher in the Kingdom more and more as we live out the Great Commission each day.

I am a St. Louis, Mo. native (Go Cardinals!) but have lived in Texas long enough to call it home (Go Spurs!). I went to college at Texas A&M (Go Aggies!) but love rooting on the home crowd team (Go Wildcats!). I spent 11 years in the music industry after college. I came to Beltway in 2014 and spent six years in children’s ministry. Starting in March of 2021, I took over the Young Adults Pastor role and the North Campus Groups Pastor role.

I’m excited for my journey with the young adults and groups world! God places a lot of emphasis on community and I can’t wait to help foster that with my people.

For reasons I’m still searching for, my beautiful wife, Morgan, said she’d be mine in 2006. We have 3 children (so far) and can’t wait to see their gifts used for the Kingdom of God!

I am a sports fanatic, music junkie, Netflix streaming, family man who is still learning daily about who God is and how He made me to impact His people in this world.

I was raised in Garland, TX but moved to Abilene in 2007 to attend Abilene Christian University and have been in the Wild West ever since! As a freshman at ACU, I immediately joined Beltway and began to volunteer leading worship for College Park. One thing led to another, and after serving on staff in various worship-related roles, I ended up becoming the worship pastor at the North Campus when it opened in 2015 (totally NOT using my education degree!).

I’m married to the most amazing woman on the planet: Tori West. We have two little girls and, Lord willing, a bunch more on the way! When I’m not at the church building, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family and close friends, taking an epic bike adventure, playing pickle ball, building a fire, enjoying something outdoors or eating warm chocolate chip cookies. 

Jesus Christ is my greatest fascination and passion in life, and whether in my living room or on stage, it’s an absolute honor to help point people to him in worship.

 My husband and I moved to Abilene in 2018 after becoming empty nesters when our  youngest graduated from high school in Arlington, Texas ,where we had made our home for 23 years. My husband, Greg, and I have been married since 1989 and have 3 beautiful adult children, Hannah, Aaron and Noah. We also have the privilege of being parents-in-law to Marcus and Avery.  

I have always been passionate about families. Families are God’s idea and He has a unique plan for each one. Although I served in Children’s ministry before, I accepted my first Children’s Pastor position in 2003. After serving in two churches in Arlington, I thought my time had ended with kids but the Lord had other plans.

My husband and I joined Beltway in 2019 and the Lord called me to a staff position in January 2022. I am forever grateful He has placed this call on my life. I find so much joy in walking with young families and helping them disciple their children. There is no higher calling for parents and I am honored to journey with them!

I was born and raised in Arlington, Tx and came to Abilene in 2010 to play baseball at HSU. As I look back on the past 13 years in Abilene, I realize there are about 5 total choices I’ve made in my life that have led to a profound breakthrough and seeing freedom in my life. The first was accepting Jesus as my Lord and then my savior, and the last was making a habit and putting myself in position to say yes to Jesus over and over. When I reflect on those choices, and the other ones in between, each one built on top of the other and I’ve realized how important choice is to our life.

I have been married to my wife, Jordan, since October of 2014, and we have two sweet girls: Navy who was born in 2019 and Henley who was born in 2022. We love to have fun! Whether it’s playing games or hanging out, we enjoy environments where people can have fun. Together, we love walking alongside people in their freedom and faith journey and creating a peaceful space for them to grow. Our favorite thing to see is not just becoming a believer but truly seeing people walk in the authority and truth of their identity and who they are through Jesus.

Before coming on staff at Beltway, I had the luxury to practice ministry in my past career and now love helping train and equip future leaders to be confident and encouraged to minister in whatever job or experience they are in, too.

In my free time, I love being with my family! Hobby wise, I enjoy creating and designing furniture, and doing pretty much anything DIY inside and outside the house. I’m active and really enjoy working out, traveling, coffee, and being outdoors.

I serve as the Associate Elementary Pastor at the North Campus.  I became a member of Beltway in 2014, joined the staff in 2018, and became part of the Beltway Kids’ team in 2023!  I have the blessing of helping elementary kids hear the truth of God’s Word and to encourage them to take that to the world! I am so honored to work with kids and learn from their child-like faith—it challenges me! 

After college, I coached and taught middle school math for seven years. Then God called me to take a year-long sabbatical to reroute some areas of my life. Looking back, I am so thankful as I see His faithfulness to take me to things and through things I never would have been brave enough to do on my own.

I enjoy playing guitar, shooting hoops, being in nature, and piddlin’ around. I appreciate a good pun. Naps and snacks have been known to completely change my outlook on life and preserve my friendships. I have an adorable cat, Titus. I am unashamedly a cat person which is fitting since my current job occasionally requires me to herd kittens.
