Faith · Family · Freedom · Fun

Success is a ladder. I found freedom on the way down.

Co-founder of Chariots4Hope with my wife, Michelle, and founder of Men's Garage. Author of Climbing Down the Ladder. Husband, father, and follower of Jesus first.

What I live by

Love God with everything I have, love my family well, and follow wherever He leads, serving the people He puts in my path.

Faith.

Jesus gets the first word and the final say.

Family.

Michelle and our kids get my best, not what's left over.

Freedom.

Free in Christ, grateful for a free nation, and helping others get free.

Fun.

If we're doing it, we're enjoying it. Life's too short to be boring.

What I've started

Each one began as a need someone noticed. Here's how you can be part of them.

Chariots4Hope

Remove a barrier.

Reliable vehicles, repairs, and education for families who need a way to get to work, school, and life. Since 2014.

8,000+

lives impacted in Nebraska

Chariots4Hope USA

Bring it to your city.

Chariots4Hope USA is the parent organization that helps new chapters launch and thrive as the ministry grows beyond Nebraska and Wisconsin.

Part of the Chariots4Hope family.

Men's Garage

Stop doing life alone.

Most men have plenty of acquaintances and no brothers. Men's Garage is a Christ-centered place where that changes. Come as you are; nobody needs it figured out.

Not every great idea should be a nonprofit. Let's find out if yours should.

Most people start with paperwork. I start with a harder question: should your idea become a nonprofit at all? Sometimes the honest answer saves you years.

01

Ministry Idea Assessment

A clear, honest look at your idea: whether it should be a nonprofit, part of an existing church, or something else entirely.

02

Idea-to-Launch Help

For ideas that should move forward: from first steps through your 501(c)(3) application being filed.

How I got here

New York

Led the state's largest auto claims department through Hurricane Sandy, and realized I was climbing the wrong ladder.

Omaha, 2013

Moved to a city where we knew no one. Opened an auto repair shop with Michelle and kept meeting single moms with no reliable way to get to work.

2014 to today

Michelle and I sold the shop and founded Chariots4Hope with no supporters and a lot of faith. We didn't know where it would lead. God did. Today, more than 8,000 lives have been impacted.

The book

Climbing Down the Ladder

Redefining success before it redefines you.

For anyone who has hit every goal and still feels empty. Start with the free FREEDOM Framework guide: seven practical shifts to break free from performance-based living.

Speaking

Bring this message to your church, men's event, or leadership gathering.

Real stories about success, surrender, and finding freedom on the way down.

Let's talk.

Whether it's Men's Garage, a ministry idea, the book, or speaking, I'd love to hear from you.

I read every message myself and reply within a few days.
