He was the youth pastor in Edmonton, AB (2005-09) and then the Associate Pastor at the same church (2009-2012). He moved to Calgary in 2013 where he began his Masters and joined the Camp Harmattan Executive team. In 2017 he ventured out to help serve a local church in Calgary through a season of change and transition.
