My relationship with Jesus is the most important relationship in my life. I gave my life to Christ between my junior and senior year of high school and have not looked back since. I have been married to Keri since August 2000 and loving every minute of it. We are the parents of three great boys who are constantly making us laugh. I have been on staff at First Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, IL for nearly a decade in the youth ministry department where I currently serve as the Pastor of Student Ministries.
My first priority is to my family. I love Keri and am a better person because of her and I love being a dad, our three boys are great to love and lead.
I have been at First Evangelical Free Church in the youth ministry department since 1999. I am currently the Pastor of Student Ministries.
I have been writing "Mini Ideas" for Group Magazine since 2009. In 2010 I was asked to author "The Wired Ministry" a youth ministry focused tech column.
It is a privilege that I am asked to lead a few technology in ministry workshops at the Simply Youth Ministry Conference. Check out more here (SYMC).

It's clear you're a seasoned presenter. You know how to shift gears from presenting, directing, responding, and interacting with the participants. You're also very at ease with participants and you do a great job establishing personal rapport with them.

Brandon is an engaging speaker. Brandon has a great read on the culture where Jr. High and Sr. High students live and appropriately uses humor, technology, and relevant application to effectively communicate with his audience. His personable approach to students on a one on one basis enhances his effectiveness of communicating biblical truth to the group at large.
