I grew up in Louisiana, where upon graduating from high school I attended Louisiana College, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Religion.  Having committed my life to Jesus at the age 7 and sensing a call to ministry at the age of 17, after college I attended George W. Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor University, earning a Master of Divinity degree.  Since my time in seminary I have served churches in Texas and Virginia.  I met my wife Shanna while serving on staff with her at a church in Virginia.  I have been on the pastoral staff at The Worship Place since July 2019.  I am proud to have served in the Air Force Reserve (1991-1999) while assigned to the 917^th at Barksdale AFB.  My wife and I enjoy attending theater and concerts, going to baseball games, and watching movies.  I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and camping, and indoor activities like reading and listening to early bop and cool jazz.
