I am passionate about helping people see the invitation Jesus offers into a life worth living. I have over 20 years experience on church staff in both worship and discipleship roles. I long to help people see how God is moving in their midst and hear the “gentle whispers” of God’s voice in their everyday life. 

Growing up in Birmingham, AL, son of a minister and teacher, the foundation that was laid was more about abstaining than living, God’s “no’s” than God’s “yes’s” and “doing” rather than “being”. Through my own experiences with change, loss, anxiety, depression, questioning, I have been able to taste and see the goodness of God. His voice permeates our lives not only in the big things but the small things and not just in good times but also in bad times. God’s ever-present voice is guiding us all and I would love to help you listen.

My wife, Lauren, and I moved to Franklin in 2019 with our three kids. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies, reading, discussing all things sports, and coaching youth soccer.
