Brent has a passion for working with individuals and couples to find the right relationships with God and to help guide and direct the children of Christ back to righteousness. He believes that when God is placed in the right relationship with oneself, He is able to work and can then provide transformation in areas of weakness and sin.

As a family, they enjoy camping, boating, playing and watching sports, coaching, hanging out around the fire, and making s’mores in the evenings.
