About Me: I have a great passion for all things of the 80’s and 90’s. I will probably spend the rest of my life believing the best music and movies happened between those decades. I was born and raised in West Virginia. While I was studying Business Administration at Marshall, God made Himself known to me. I confessed my sin and began following Jesus during the summer of 1998. While at Marshall University I met my future wife, Olivia. We married in the summer 2005 and the Lord gave us our first child two years later.  


Home is my favorite place in the world. I love being with my family, playing with the kids, and doing home renovations. I enjoy coaching Little League baseball/softball and volunteering in the community. I love having people over to the house, discipling young men, and hopefully helping our church to trust Jesus more and more. That pretty much sums up my days.

About Me: I was born and raised in Huntington, West Virginia.  I graduated from Grace Christian School in 1999.  It was from the ministry of Grace Gospel Church and Grace Christian School that I came to know about Jesus.  I placed my faith in Him to be my Savior.  In high school, college, and post graduate studies, I struggled with assurance of salvation, but ultimately found enormous peace in the realization that Jesus Christ has completed ALL things necessary for my salvation and that my sinfulness, though great, cannot disqualify me from His grace and forgiveness.  As the only Christian in my family, I feel a great burden to share this message of salvation with my loved ones and the unreached world.  In 2011, I met another Christian with those same passions--Kait Bartoe.  Kait was on her way to Uganda to serve as a missionary.  Within 9 months of our meeting, we were engaged and after a one year engagement during which we were separated by an ocean, we married in 2013 and spent much of the first year of our marriage in Uganda together.  We returned to the US in 2014 and have been attending Huntington Community Church since 2015.  We have four children, one labrador retriever, and four hermit crabs.

About me: I grew up in the Ona/Milton, WV Area in a family with parents who loved Jesus and prioritized our life around church family. I remember always have an awareness of God and knowing that my life should honor Him. However, it wasn't until my freshman year of college that I am confident I truly repented of my sin and believed the gospel. After that day in 2011, the Lord has set me on a path of personal discipleship, local church family, and the best friends anyone could ever be blessed with. The Lord used those things to lead me into vocational ministry after graduating from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. In 2016, I married Courtney Kramer. The next year, the Lord called us to the HCC Family and we have been overwhelmed with the privilege of serving with this church. We love being parents to three incredible kids and using our life to see God glorified with our church family.
