SENIOR PASTOR
STAFF ELDER
​Thank you for visiting our church's website. Being the pastor of Noblesville Baptist is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I'd love to get the chance to meet you personally.
Growing up on the outskirts of Anderson, Indiana, I learned to love basketball, cornfields, and flat land. I thank God for having the opportunity to be raised in a Christian home and receive Christ as my Savior at the young age of 12.
I completed a Master of Divinity degree from Faith Bible Seminary (2016) in Lafayette, IN and an interdisciplinary Th. M. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (2019) in Louisville, KY.

I was born in Searcy, Arkansas, and grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. By His grace, the Lord drew me to Himself at a young age. I was brought up in a believing home under my parents Marvin and Tammy and alongside my siblings Meghan and Ryan. My early years consisted mainly of Family, Church, Basketball, and Art.
I attended Anderson University where I received a BA in Visual Communication Design and also where I met my beautiful bride Kelsy. We moved to Noblesville and now have six amazing arrows in our quiver; Silas Jonathan, Selah Joy, Ruby Noelle, Elijah Jude, Zion Nathanael, and Evelyn Tamara.
My family and I have been blessed to attend NBC since 2015. In 2018 I began an internship with NBC while pursuing theological education through the Indianapolis Theological Seminary I completed the Masters of Divinity degree in May 2021, and I currently serve our church as an Associate Pastor working in areas of teaching, preaching, administration, design, and music. God has blessed my family and I beyond measure, and I give all glory to Him for the opportunity to serve at NBC.

I was born in Indianapolis and grew up on the West side. My family was religious and we went to church, but it wasn’t real to me. I started attending a Christian school in my high school years and realized my need for a Savior. When I was 16, Jesus Christ saved my soul. I attended a church by myself for many years. I went to Northland Baptist Bible College to study to be in the ministry.
I never finished college, but in 2004, I met my beautiful wife Jana and we were married in 2006. My wife was a missionary with her family in Brazil in the Amazon basin. We were married in Brazil and then came back to Indiana where we have served together at several churches over the years. The Lord has blessed us with 7 children and we have been striving to raise them for the glory of God.
We love ministering to the people of Noblesville and we pray that God uses us to continue to serve for His glory.

I was born and raised in east central Wisconsin – and a Packer fan which makes me an outsider in Colt country. I had the pleasure of getting up early every morning to milk cows and other exciting opportunities on a dairy farm. At a young age, I made a profession of faith in Christ who has led me through many valleys. After spending four years in the Navy during the Vietnam Era, I went on to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree from Milwaukee School of Engineering and later a Master of Business Administration from Butler University.
Indiana Wesleyan University allowed me to teach master's level Marketing and other business classes where I was able to share my faith.
I met my wonderful wife Sue during my stint in the Navy with whom we have/had five kids and now have five grandkids. During our journey have been in several churches and have found a home in Noblesville Baptist and enjoy the small group friendships and camaraderie.
