Born in Gainesville and raised in Jupiter, FL I grew up in a non-Christian home but through a friend began attending student ministry as a sophomore in high school and was saved by the Lord at 15 years old. Eventually my church called me to serve full time on staff and gave me the opportunity to serve as a Student Minister over the same Student Ministry that I was saved through. Through years of both lay and vocational service in both rural and inner-city contexts I have come to greatly enjoy making friends and sharing Christ with people from all different backgrounds and walks of life and treasure the diversity found within the body of Christ. I was ordained by Westside Baptist Church and commissioned to be the pastor of Hague Baptist Church in October of 2022 as part of the replanting process. Molly and I married in June of 2017 and we have five sons, Kilsin, Bear, Murphy, Justice, and Deacon and have had the opportunity to foster multiple children as foster parents through One More Child.
