In 2003, I married my wife, Laura. We are both originally from the North Georgia area, but lived in Louisville before moving overseas in 2005. We have two children; both were born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2019, our family returned to Chattanooga to serve in our sending church, Brainerd Baptist.

I serve as the Global Missions Pastor at Idlewild Baptist in Lutz, Florida. Previously, I served as Discipleship Pastor at Brainerd Baptist Church and with the International Mission Board (IMB) for almost 15 years. During my time with the IMB, our family lived and served in Latin American megacities (primarily Buenos Aires, Argentina). I was also fortunate to partner with different IMB work groups and local partners to help them develop healthy church strategies for global disciple-making.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the University of North Georgia (2001) in Dahlonega. I received a Master of Divinity (2007) and a Doctor of Missiology (2013) from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY.
