Nicholas is a native Midwesterner with roots in Pure Michigan*. Before he came to Redeemer in 2021, he served as the RUF Campus Minister at the University of Missouri. Now he serves as a Pastor and the Students Co-Director alongside Mary Paxton, equipping our students with tools to have a genuine and personal relationship with Jesus. He received his M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and studied film and creative writing at Olivet Nazarene University and Oxford University.

Nicholas and Brenna have three boys, Caleb, Owen, and Russell. They love being outside, exploring the arts, being at any sporting event, voraciously reading, and making copious amounts of BBQ in their backyard for anyone who wants it.

*His father worked in Pure Flint™.
