About me
David is a veteran in youth ministry having served in three different congregations since 1995 and has been at Otter Creek since January 2003. He's been to NCYM every year since 1997. After 27 years in congregational youth ministry, David's role expanded in 2022 to include Children's Ministry as well.
In his role as Director of Student Ministries - where he works to support Otter Creek's Middle School, High School and Children's ministries - David’s mission is to partner with parents and families in the process of helping young people develop into lifelong followers of Jesus. He loves teaching from the Bible, taking students on life-changing trips, surrounding young people with caring mentors and watching children and teens mature in Christ - especially in multi-generational settings.
His favorite restaurant is Joey’s House of Pizza, his favorite verse from scripture is Jeremiah 35, his favorite song is “Peace” by Rich Mullins, his favorite TV show is ST:TNG, his favorite book is Lord of the Rings, and his favorite movie is Strictly Ballroom. He is in love with (and as of August 2023, enjoying the empty nest with) his amazing wife (Becky) and super-proud of his incredible daughters (Madeline & Charity) and son (Benson).
David is also a football and basketball official for the TSSAA.
