So this is the epic version of my bio. The actual version is filled with more chores and homework. But both versions include coffee ice cream. Which, along with prayer, holds our family together.
Now the crucial details. My favorite baseball team is the Kansas City Royals (where I grew up). Throughout my travels, from SBU (where I met Meg), to Truett Seminary, and in Augusta as a Middle School Minister, I kept the hope alive! For years my hopes and dreams might as well have been stuffed in one of the kids’ build-a-bears. We came to Chandler in 2010, hoping to bring new luck and …  we did!  The Royals won the World Series!

As for Megan, she grew up in Tulsa and roots for the Royals out of love (or maybe because I share my ice cream?). She was a high school teacher (supporting me through seminary, beauty and brains) before our children came and for a time she focused keeping our house sane. But when that proved impossible, she became the Secretary at Kearney Middle School.

People often ask where we found our little ones’ names. I must admit we discovered Ivy’s (2006) name in The Village, a movie by M. Night Shyamalan. Phoebe’s (2009) name is found in Romans 16:1, a deacon of the church. Darcy’s (2011) name came from a brilliant young lady in Augusta – not the “mister” in some unknown book! And Ezekiel (2015) is named after my favorite prophet.

I promised an epic bio only to arrive at the end and realize all the epic events are happening at home – amid the chores and homework! So if you need me, home is where I am heading. Contact us and we will invite you over for ice cream, but come prepared to do math facts.

The church is not a place, but a people. Often a people drinking coffee. In all seriousness, I want to get to know you. If you are interested in Chandler, feel free to contact me and learn more: sean@chandlerbc.org
