Who is Mark?

Helping Pastors Lead with Confidence, Build Strong Teams, and Prevent Burnout

For over 30 years, I’ve served in nearly every pastoral role—youth pastor, worship leader, children’s pastor, campus pastor, and lead pastor. I’ve led in small churches, megachurches, and multi-site ministries, experiencing firsthand the weight of leadership, the challenges of building a healthy staff, and the constant tension between ministry and personal life.

That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to coaching pastors and ministry leaders—helping them develop their leadership, strengthen their teams, and lead their churches without burning out.

Why I Do This

I firmly believe that God has called me not to work for “a” local church, but to work for THE local Church—the capital “C” Church.

My heart is to see pastors thrive in their calling, not just survive the pressures of ministry. I don’t approach coaching as a business transaction—I see it as a kingdom partnership. When a pastor leads well, the entire church benefits. When churches are healthy, the impact spreads into communities, families, and beyond.

That’s why I do what I do. I’m here to equip, strengthen, and support ministry leaders—so they can fulfill their calling with clarity, confidence, and longevity.

Why Work With Me?

Real Ministry Experience

I’m not just teaching leadership principles—I’ve lived them. Since 1994, I’ve served in nearly every ministry role, navigating the same challenges pastors face today.

Certified Leadership Coach

Beyond my ministry experience, I’m a Business Made Simple Certified Coach, trained in leadership, strategy, and organizational effectiveness. I also graduated from Church on the Move School of Ministry in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I built a strong foundation in ministry leadership and church operations.

Proven Results

Pastors I’ve worked with consistently tell me that coaching has helped them:

  • Organize their thinking and vision
  • Gain fresh, practical perspective on leadership challenges
  • Develop sustainable rhythms between ministry and personal life

My goal is simple: To help pastors lead with confidence, build strong teams, and avoid burnout—so they can serve their churches effectively without feeling overwhelmed.
