I was born and raised in Durham, NC. I have been married to my wife Stephanie since 2016. We have 1 son, Roman. My primary responsibilities at Ridgecrest include overseeing the college ministry, special events, and guest services.

I attended Ridgecrest from birth to college, leaving to serve in a lay capacity at other churches in the area before returning to Ridgecrest shortly after the birth of our son. I graduated from Northern High School, Appalachian State University (BA), and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv).

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, woodworking, and reading. I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home, where I professed my faith in Jesus at the age of 6, and was baptized at Ridgecrest shortly thereafter. I enjoy reading and discussing Scripture, especially in small group settings whenever the opportunity arises.
