01 About

Leading people toward Jesus, and building teams who do the same.

That's the whole job. Hi, I'm Nick. For more than 13 years I've had the joy of leading worship, raising up leaders, and helping churches tell their story well.

I love the moment when a room full of people stops singing about God and starts singing to Him, and I love everything that goes into getting there: the rehearsals, the team, the planning, the lighting cue that lands just right. Alongside worship leading, I've spent my career in design, branding, video, social media, and digital marketing, so I care as much about how something looks as how it sounds.

I'm a details person. I'm organized, I like a good plan, and I try to bring excellence to everything I do. Underneath all of it is a love for God's Word. Studying the Bible and theology keeps me anchored there. And I'm always thinking about the people: investing in the team, keeping the mission in front of us, and staying hungry to grow.

I live in Kernersville, North Carolina.
