After a childhood spent attending Lighthouse Baptist Church as a "bus kid" in Reno, Nevada, I went on to graduate from its Christian academy in 1998. My journey continued in Santa Clara, California, where I attended Golden State Baptist College. It was there that I met my wife Sarah.

We were married on January 21, 2003, and together we have four children. Over the past two decades, I have faithfully served in various roles within the church. This commitment led me to my current position as a pastor Of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Eden, NC.
