I was born in West Monroe, Louisiana, and grew up in southwest Ouachita Parish. As I was growing up, my dad worked as a general contractor and my mother was a stay-at-home mom. I spent the days of my childhood exploring the backwoods of Louisiana and developed a passion for adventure and the outdoors. From a young age, I knew I wanted to experience the world and do something significant with my life. These desires, along with my devotion to Jesus, with whom I experienced a life-changing relationship at the age of 16, led me to traveling adventures in 5 continents before the age of 30 and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, like hiking in the Himalayan Mountains and cage diving with great white sharks in Australia. The only experience better than those was helping some of the amazing people I met come to know Jesus. I love adventure and I love to tell people about Jesus. One of my life goals is to share the gospel on 6 continents; I only have one left: Europe.

Over 16 years of full-time ministry, I have learned a lot about myself, my calling, and my purpose. When I look at my journey and my spiritual gifts, I am 100% certain that God has called me to be the Lead Pastor of an amazing group of people. I truly believe in my heart of hearts that everything I have experienced up to this point in my life has been preparing me for that group of people. I believe that God will use me to be a significant part of their spiritual journey and they will do the same for me and my family. We have been praying for this opportunity for 16 years and we cannot wait to see what God has in store for us!
