My life was forever changed by Jesus when I trusted Him at the age of eight. The life change I have experienced can only be explained by Jesus, and I want everyone to experience Him. Now I really desire to glorify the Lord by making disciples.

My life can only be explained with the phrase, “But God.” I had plans to be a CPA, but God called me into ministry during my last semester at Lamar University. Even though I received degrees in accounting and finance, I didn’t use them. God even laughed at my love for numbers and dislike for reading and English by providing a way for me to go to seminary. I graduated with a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and had the privilege of going to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for a Doctor of Ministry in expository preaching. While Seminary has really helped in ministry, it pales in comparison to my time serving alongside the saints in the churches I have been able to serve in. I have had opportunities to serve with music and youth and have pastored since 2011.

I married the love of my life (Amanda), and we have three children (Luke, Joel, and Anayah). We love one another and enjoy our time together from pizza Fridays to our camping trips. We even went to Washington DC camping along the way in the summer of 2023. We are so honored that God called us to First Christian Church in July of 2023.
