Since starting Restoration Generation in 2010, I have been speaking to over 25,000 students a year at festivals, conferences, public and private school assemblies, and other events across the country. I bring an evangelistic message of hope and encouragement, challenging this generation of youth to restore their relationships with God and with each other.
Passionate about equipping new believers to follow Christ, I wrote my first book, Heart Not Hype, a 7-day discipleship journey, which helps them not only understand their faith but guides them in their daily walk with Jesus.
I have worked full-time in youth ministry for over 20 years and am a member of Luis Palau's Next Generation Alliance of evangelists. I graduated from the University of Sioux Falls in 1998 and completed my M.A. in Christian Leadership from Sioux Falls Seminary in 2017. My wife, Laura, and I have 2 boys, Isaiah and Chase.
