Pastor Jeff is the lead pastor for MtnVu. He is a native of North Carolina, having also served on the field in South Carolina and extensively in South Florida. With nineteen years of full-time ministry, Jeff's experiences and training include students, worship, music, pastoring, law enforcement chaplain, and recording artist. His most recent passion has been sharing God's Word each week, and caring for this congregation with a shepherd's heart.

He enjoys motorcycling, Carolina BBQ, and quiet evenings on the front porch with a hot cup of Starbucks! He's married to Donna, and they have three boys: Michael, Evan, and JD. In 2005, their family moved to Murphy to help plant a new church called MtnVu Community Church.
