Hi, I'm Rich. I'm on a mission to help 100 churches grow by 1,000 people.

I’ve been involved in church leadership for over 25 years. Early on, I had the privilege of leading in one of the very first multisite churches in North America. I led the charge in helping The Meeting House in Toronto to become the leading multi-site church in Canada with over 4,500 people in 6 locations. (Today they are 20 locations with somewhere over 6,000 people attending.) In addition, I served on the leadership team of Connexus Community Church in Ontario, a North Point Community Church Strategic Partner.

For seven years I served as a part of the four-member Lead Team at Liquid Church in the Manhattan-facing communities of New Jersey. In my time with the church we grew from 1 campus to 6 … and our attendance grew to over 5,000 people. (That’s actual numbers not “Pastor Inflated Numbers!”) At Liquid I oversaw communications, weekend service programming, campus expansion, and special projects.

I work with life-giving churches that want to reach more people in their community. I offer online courses, books, group coaching and a tonne of helpful content through the blog & podcast.

I'm married to a girl I met in high school who was way above my league then and still is now - Christine. We have two young adult kids, Haley & Hunter. We live north of Toronto & together try to keep our dog, Rory, from sleeping on our beds.
