My mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ and to build them up through God’s word. God called me to faith at the age of three years old, and I have been growing deeper in this faith throughout my whole life. God first called me to ministry in high school and led me to Moody Bible Institute where I graduated with a B.A. in Youth Ministry. Because I wanted to learn how to study the Bible more effectively, I continued my education at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and graduated with a Master of Divinity.

I love spending time with my amazing wife and my boys. In my spare time I enjoy riding anything that moves including motorcycles, sailboats, bikes, and even unicycles. I also enjoy spending time with people and reading good books.

I attended Judson University where I graduated with a degree in Youth Ministry and Adolescent Studies in 2019.  After joining First Baptist Church in February of 2023, I began serving as a volunteer in Thrive, our youth ministry, with my brother-in-law, who is the youth pastor, and my twin sister, who is his wife.  I also began teaching Sunday School to the 1st and 2nd graders which is one of my favorite roles.  When the need for a church secretary arose I instantly felt like I would enjoy doing that, so I applied!  I began serving as the part time church secretary in May 2023, and I also work part time as a substitute teacher in the schools nearby.  In May 2023 I married my best friend, Nathan, and I look forward to many happy years serving God together in this church.
