The Story
Hi, I’m Jon.
​
I’m a veteran youth pastor with over 21 years of experience—which basically means I’ve mastered the art of ordering bulk pizza, untangling mic cords with one hand, and answering awkward theological questions from seventh graders while holding a half-eaten cookie.
​
Equipping leaders and building ministries that actually make disciples is my heartbeat. That passion led me to write Youth Ministry Blueprint— a practical, honest, and slightly caffeinated guide to creating effective, sustainable ministries that disciple students and transform communities.
