Tom has been in the ministry for over 16 years and joined the staff at Cross Bend in 2001 where he served as the Youth and Children's Pastor.  In 2011 he became Senior Pastor and is very excited about the amazing things God has in store at Cross Bend.  He met his wife, Shawn, while he was a student at Dallas Christian College where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Bible. Shawn recently felt called to be a "missionary" in the public school system where she serves as an elementary art teacher.  Together they have served the Lord and have shared their passion for "working in the trenches" ever since.  Tom enjoys many activities including woodworking, watching movies, and spending time with his family.  Tom and Shawn have two children, Hunter and Laurie Ann.

They have no children as of yet, unless you count their child-like dog (“Ava” a weimaraner). The two of them love to go hiking, disc golfing, and basically anything outdoors, but above everything they both share a passion for serving Christ and following His plan for their life.
