Welcome

I mentor, resource and inspire emerging global student leaders through a tribe called The Ember Cast - we throw fire. I am intentionally deeply involved with every activity around our competencies, honing the craft of discipling global leaders. I run The Ember Cast while also working full time as a database engineer and embrace the covocational model both as a personal ministry philosophy as well as a model for future missional leaders. I am based in Columbia, MD, but get bored sitting around.
