SHOW UP * ENGAGE * IGNITE!
What We Believe
We believe that God has put A FIRE inside all young people. And that fire burns hotter and more fierce within a team. Within a community. We believe that young men and women were meant to change the world. They were meant to lead, to love, to cultivate, and to champion others. And we believe that they still do this today.
Fireside was born out of conversations around the fire...around something deeper, mythic, and holy. It was born from men encouraging each other, rallying around each other, connecting, and going after the heart of God.
We believe that ALL young men and women can learn, thrive and grow in communities of support and faith
We believe that all young men and women are in need of friendship, guidance, mentoring, and encouragement
We believe that God wants to raise up a new generation of young men and women who walk with integrity in everything they do
We believe Jesus moves in young men and women and in places that are often overlooked by society (underserved cities, streets, & neighborhoods)
We believe that church does not just take place on Sunday’s and in between four walls and a roof


What we do
At Fireside we have 3 main service areas:
1. Ignite Youth Leadership Program
2. Fireside Huddles
3. Mentoring & Coaching
(one on one & organizational)
Through these it's our goal to...
SHOW UP - ENGAGE - IGNITE!
Ignite Youth Leadership Program
Galatians 5:6
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

About:
We empower young men and women (middle & high school age students) to go into their neighborhood (blacktop, grass field, or sport court) using a soccer ball to intentionally engage youth in a posture of love, prayer, and Integrity.
Partner and Locations:
Kid Works Dan Donahue Center
Kid Works Townsend Street Center
Kid Works Cedar Evergreen Center

Fireside Huddles
Jeremiah 6:16
"Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls."

Conversations, Support, Brotherhood!
Because we believe strongly that ALL young men learn, thrive and grow in communities of brotherhood and faith we put into regular practice gathering together. Sometimes this is around food, around the fire, or outdoor activities such as futsal, hiking, or camping. Regardless - brotherhood IGNITES US.
The goal here is to listen, engage and build each other up. Then to encourage and go out into the world and spread the love of God.
Currently we are meeting at these two locations.

About the Founder
Father, Husband, Brother, Friend, Son of God!

I feel a deep call to bring hope. To bring love. To bring adventure and frontier back to the hearts of young people. To give them a door to Christ. To Abba the Father. To the wildness of the Holy Spirit. To a love they have never before experienced. And to do this in a non-conventional way. Around a camp fire, with a soccer ball, a smile, a little childlike goofiness, and constant encouragement.
I am an outside the box thinker and innovator. I have 20 plus years of experience creating and innovating new programs and in multiple arenas. I’ve worked in commercial real estate, higher education, sports entertainment, and in the non-profit world in Los Angeles and Orange County, California. This wide range of life experience gives me a unique perspective and way of moving. It has allowed me to see, feel, and walk with people from all avenues of life. Those who don’t have a faith. Those who do. Those who are searching for God and don’t know it. Those who are searching for love but can’t seem to find it. And what ties it all together is I have been in those exact places myself. Lost, broken, crying out…does anyone see me? Does anyone hear me? Does anyone notice me?
My hope for you is that as you've read through this site something inside you is connecting. Something is saying "yes, I can relate." Something is waking up and wanting more. Something is telling you to join us. If so, please reach out. I am open for a cup of coffee, a conversation, or just kicking the ball around.
I look forward to speaking with you soon.
