Michael grew up in Harleysville, PA with the opportunity to observe his parents teaching and modeling the Christian faith and service in the local church. That foundation led to an eagerness to serve in worship ministries throughout his high school and college years where he met his wife, Brittni. When he isn’t enjoying baseball, a good hike, or time at the beach with Brittni and their four sons, Michael can be found running, baking, or reading.

Michael holds an MA in Worship (Ethnomusicology) from Liberty University. He graduated from Lebanon Valley College with majors in Actuarial Science and Music and, after spending several years in the insurance field, was called to full-time vocational ministry in 2019. Michael served as Worship Pastor at a church in Delaware County for five years before joining the team at Goshen as Associate Pastor in 2025. He also teaches graduate courses as an adjunct at Cairn University.

Michael believes he is called to prepare God’s Church for the day we will stand together before his throne with believers from every nation, tribe, and language. He appreciates Romans 4:20-21 for its relationship between faith and worship: “No unbelief made [Abraham] waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.”
