During my senior year of high school, the Lord began to pull at my heart to prepare to enter vocational ministry. Throughout a series of conversations and experiences, I started following God’s calling in my life. Along the way, I met a woman that changed my life. She would end up becoming my forever the summer of 2007 after I said the words, “I do.” Emily is my wife, best friend, soul mate, and life-long ministry partner. My prayer is that I will always love and lead her well.
After graduating from Boyce College (a school of Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky) in 2008, I begin serving the local church as an associate pastor, mainly in student and family ministry. In 2014, God blessed us with a beautiful little girl, Madelyn, and in 2017, a full of energy boy, Caleb. Our prayer for Madelyn and Caleb is three-fold: their lips proclaim the glory of God, their hands are about the work of God, and their feet would walk in truth.
After more than a decade of serving students and families, next generation ministry still makes my heart beat a little faster. I believe students are the church today and can have an incredible impact for the Kingdom. These days, I love serving in ministry as a copywriter with The Gideons International in Nashville, Tennessee, equipping families here at New Hope, cheering on my beloved Vanderbilt Commodores, traveling, and hanging out with my family.
