Dan was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania and has a passion to see the church equipped to make disciples of Jesus both locally and around the world. As a child, he responded in faith to the message of salvation, but it wasn’t until his early twenties that the sovereign grace of God became the central shaping influence of His life.
 He is a graduate of Lancaster Bible College and has taken numerous courses through C.C.E.F and completed several internships and church residencies prior to entering ministry. He began serving as the Associate Pastor at Ephrata Bible Fellowship in 2017 before being called to serve as the Lead Pastor in 2022. Some of his top theological influences include Martin Lloyd Jones, George Mueller and Charles Spurgeon. He is passionate about expository preaching and Scripture based prayer. His favorite passage of Scripture is Romans 8.
Dan and his wife Lynnea and enjoy ministering together and raising their four children: Miriam, Natalie, Lewis and Nolan.
