I am blessed to serve as Pastor of the West Bradenton Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida, since June ’08. Prior to this role, I served as Pastor to University Students (5 years) and as Pastor to Students (12 years).
I grew up in Bartlett, Tennessee, just outside of Memphis, TN. The Lord moved powerfully in my life as a freshmen in college regarding an unyielding commitment to Jesus Christ. I have never regretted that decision! I graduated from Memphis State University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Sociology. I received my Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. I am currently praying about beginning my doctoral studies in expository preaching.
My Family
My wife, Nova, and I have been married since June ’93 and we have one daughter, a pug named Lulu, and a border collie/lab mix named Tootsie.
In My Sparetime
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family, golf, reading, home renovations, and cleaning the pool.
