I was born in Murray, KY to a loving Christian family and was raised as a Pastor’s kid. I came to know the Lord at an early age. I attended college at Wyoming Technical Institute and graduated in 2005 with a degree in Collision and Refinishing with Applied Service Management.  I married my wife, Tasha, in 2007 and we have been blessed with 2 precious girls, Kaelyn and Ziley.

The Lord began tugging on my heart that He had quite different plans for my life than the motorcycle trike shop I was working in.  I trusted the Lord and He lead me into ministry. I began in 2013 as the College Minister of Locust Grove Baptist Church in Murray, KY. My wife and I were appointed by Kentucky Baptist Convention and North American Mission Board in 2016 to be a full-time, self-funded missionaries in the Appalachian region of Eastern KY. 

While serving in Appalachia, I have been blessed to minister to those living in low-income housing, those in drug and alcohol addiction recovery, and I have even had the privilege to minister to the inmates of the Floyd County jail. I feel the Lord has given me a great compassion for those who are broken and hurting and need the grace, love, and mercy of our Savior. I want to teach them redemption that only comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I am honored to be called by God to plant and Pastor of The Branch Church in the Lancer community of Prestonsburg, KY.
