He has also served in various roles in coaching, small groups, and Sunday morning ministries.

How He Got Here.Jack wants to see you flourish. In fact, he is obsessed with seeing others make breakthroughs that allow them to grow closer in their relationship with God and accomplish what they were always made to do. Jack’s passion to raise others up was ignited at a spiritual retreat where the speaker encouraged each person to do what most stirred their heart. This sparked Jack’s journey to discover how to empower others to not just grow, but to flourish. To that end, he went to Biola university to study the Bible and psychology and then transitioned to Western Seminary to do his master’s work in theology and transformational coaching. Jack’s education was supplemented with his own soul work including reading the great spiritual fathers, facilitating a poetry group that explored the inner life, and wrestling with God through his own experience of suffering with autoimmune diseases. This journey then bloomed into pastoral and coaching roles where he was able to guide others to be their best selves: empowered, transformed, Christ-centered individuals.
