Too often I've been overwhelmed by communicators who desire to impress their audience rather than impact them toward change.
I believe that people at my events should leave changed, not simply challenged. God's Word has transformed my life; I have dedicated myself to understanding it, living it, and communicating it—both to non-profit and business audiences all over the world.
I believe the Bible has some complex themes that need to be unpacked—a simplicity on the far side of complexity—and made practical for every audience to experience transformation.
Originally from Ontario, Canada, I currently hail from Chicagoland, IL. My wife Amy is originally from Indiana, USA and we have three children—Brittany, Courtney, and Jamin.
I served as Field Director for Global Tribes Outreach between 1997-2008, a non-profit organization in Southeast Asia I helped found back in 1995.
Currently I serve as President of the Reverb Network which initiates serving leadership movements in North America and around the world.
My experience in missions mobilization, leadership training, and team development has taken me to four continents over the last 25 years. I have a Masters degree in Christian leadership from Asbury Seminary and speak, train, and coach in both business and non-profit spheres.
I believe that as followers of Christ we are called to glorify God in everything by leading, loving, and serving like Jesus.
“I want to thank you for your teaching on Cat & Dog Theology—it has sure given us a LOT to think about, and ask God how to put it into practice in a more consistent way. There have been many interesting discussions between team members as we try to encourage each other to live lives that honor and glorify God.”

We all love to hike and climb mountains, especially in Colorado. Each year we try to knock out more of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks on our quest to climb all 56.
