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.
