“Generosity is the quickest path to joy I know. Our enemy wants to slow you down. I want to help you floor it.”

Books I’ve Written

This new book is full of exclusive interviews with people who have succeeded in business and their professional fields, but have a refreshing perspective on their bigger purpose. 

Behind every great movement of God stands a few generous men and women called Gospel Patrons. This book tells three of their stories from history and invites us live this way in our generation too.

Gospel Patrons is a book of vision. Giving Together is a book of action. This book is about taking your next steps to grow in generosity that changes you and changes the world.

My Story

My Story

I met Jesus when I was 7 years old, met my wife at 16, and started working in business at 23.

Early on I was succeeding in business, but deep down I wanted more. I knew life was about more than making money. More than climbing the ladder. More than the American Dream. 

I believed God put me on planet earth for a reason, but I didn’t have vision. 

Businesspeople seemed like second-class Christians, so I resigned and went looking for purpose. I spent four years in seminary earning a Masters of Divinity degree. Afterward, we chased my wife's dream to become a global Christian and learn to walk by faith.

We left everything and traveled the world… 5 continents, 22 countries, and 132 days around the world. 

It was on this adventure that I first heard about Gospel Patrons from a friend of a friend. Little did I know that it would become a book I would write and a movement God would birth.

Since then I’ve been invited to speak to thousands of people around the world. It’s been a great privilege to help business leaders and many professional people find their unique calling within God’s kingdom.

I love what I get to do and believe the best is yet to come.
