I am Brian

I am a child of God, a husband to Ruby, a father to Will, a pastor, a mentor and coach.

I love helping churches be better for the next generation. The statistics are not in our favor for reaching the next generation. Overwhelmed church leaders need encouragement, vision and strategies that create impact. That’s what I love to bring to the table. I am passionate about helping church leaders articulate vision and develop strategies across the age stage spectrum to reach and mature the next generations for Christ. I love coaching individual leaders to maximize their gifting, to help them lead up as well as lead staff and volunteers under their care. I also love coaching individuals and couples who get stuck in their relationships.

I Enjoy…

 

Being a husband to Ruby my wife of 25+ years.

Being a father to Will (see my post).

Watching rugby.

Playing golf.

Hiking new places every summer. I do own snowshoes but admit they are still in their store packaging…

I just took up biking with my gravel/road bike. I’ve made it to the mailbox.

Traveling (when COVID’s not around).

So, I love to help people to love, serve, give, dream better. At the end of my days, I want to leave the world “for the better.”

I’d love to help you too.
