I spent my early years in Fairview, Alabama, but in 1984, my family moved to Addison, where I later graduated from Addison High School in 1991. Right after graduation, I joined the U.S. Army and proudly served for 10 years, both here at home and overseas. After leaving the Army, life took me to many different places, but in 2007, I finally came back home to Cullman, Alabama. The same year, I began attending Temple Baptist Church, and in January 2008, I got saved and joined the church. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of serving in several different ministries.

I met my wife, Adrienne, in 2008. That same year, she trusted Christ as her Savior right here at Temple Baptist Church. We were married in 2009, and God has blessed us with four children—Ashley, Michalah, Seth, and Elliot. Today, our youngest son, Elliot, serves on the Guest Services team, and Adrienne sings in the choir at our Fairview campus.

God also opened the door for my family and me to partner with Unsheltered International, a ministry reaching the homeless and forgotten. Since it began in 2010, this ministry has grown strong, and I’m thankful to have had even a small part in it.

In December 2020, I was asked to serve as the Campus Pastor at Temple Baptist Fairview. Without hesitation, and by faith, I stepped out of my semi-truck and into that role. This calling has deepened my walk with the Lord and continues to challenge me daily. I am grateful for the opportunity. 

Serving the Lord together as a family is one of our greatest joys. If you ever have the opportunity to visit, I would love to meet you, pray with you, and welcome you to the Fairview Campus!
