My Story

I was born and raised in Chattanooga, TN. During high school, I had a pretty profound spiritual moment where after months of doubt and confusion, the Lord helped me understand I couldn’t make Him love me by my good works. But because of Jesus, He had chosen to love me and help me change.

Ever since then, I have been trying to use my life to help others see God’s love for them. Sensing the Lord was calling me into ministry, but unsure of what that path would look like, I went to Lee University and got my undergrad in Information Systems. I joined a tech startup and worked in the business world for a while until I went to Seminary where I achieved my Masters of Divinity.

After seminary, I went to work at a local hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic as a trauma chaplain.

After serving for around 4 years as a pastor of young adults, my wife and I felt called to join a church revitalization project. I now work as the lead pastor at Alpine Baptist Church.
