Summary

As a disciple of Jesus, I am passionate about furthering the Kingdom of God

through technology. The four-walled church is the essence of what we consider the
meeting place of the church body, but there are many other avenues that can be
reached with the use of technology outside the four walls. My ministry focus revolves
around staying on the cusp of digital and technological fields and generating new and
untapped ministry avenues.

I was born in Monroe, Louisiana on December 27th, 1985. My childhood was

mainly spent in Conway, Arkansas where I grew up with my mother, father, and older
brother.
Having grown up in the church I naturally knew the story of Jesus and what he did
for me as a sinner. I cannot go back to a certain date or time that I accepted Christ in
my life, but I can remember the day that it became real to me. I had always known it,
but on the porch of cabin 2 at Kanakuk K-West in the summer of 1998 Christ became
more real to me than ever before. From that point on I believe my spiritual journey
began.
I am married to Rene Crane and we have a son born on 8/8/14. Renee was born in
Toronto Canada but mainly grew up in Ottawa. She attended Appalachian State
University where we met. She works at a natural gas company as an HR Business
Partner. Her gifts include people, mediation, talent management and much more. We
have been married since 12/29/2007.
I enjoy hunting, backpacking, dabbling in microcontrollers, and movies.
