Leadership Team | Sugar Grove

My entire life has been spent here in Illinois, as I've never lived further than 45 minutes from where I grew up in Carol Stream. God has blessed me with incredible parents who, after hearing the Gospel and accepting Christ, shared and taught everything to me as well. At the age of 12, I surrendered to Jesus and asked him to be the Lord and King of my life.

Shortly after, God led our family here to Village Bible Church. I grew so much in my time here during high school, going on multiple missions trips, establishing deep friendships, and learning more about Jesus from my leaders and Pastor Mario.

Life was not always easy following those younger years, but God in His grace and mercy continued to work in my heart, and eventually called me into ministry as a Worship Pastor. After 10 years of leading worship at a local church, I was so excited to answer God's call to come back to Village and serve as the Worship Pastor.

My wife Emily and I have been married for over 9 years, and have three amazing children: Eloise, Judah, and Adley. Through many difficult medical issues during Adley's first year of life, God has taught us so much about dependency on Him, walking in obedience, and learning to "seek first the Kingdom". We are beyond thrilled to see how God is going to continue to write our story here at Village!
