I am a pastor & preservationist committed to leading faith-inspired organizations. Currently, I lead Wesley Park Church in Wyoming, MI. We aspire to become an incarnational and intergenerational community committed to proclaiming the embodied love of Christ. Formerly, I was privileged to steward the Historic Cory and St. Matthew United Methodist Churches. In these capacities I led preservation based economic development in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood. Between 2021-2024, I helped secure over $1.3 million in historic preservation and infrastructure grants from entities including National Park Service, National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. I endeavor to be a loving spouse and father, a compassionate friend, and your stereotypical Black uncle on the grill.
