In a Nutshell
Husband. Dad. Dreamer. Culture enthusiast. Psychology nerd. Dog Person. Music Guy.
The Full Story
I grew up on the coast of Texas until my family moved to Louisville, Kentucky. It took a while, but Louisville has become a city I love. At the age of 21, I gave my life to Christ. God used a youth pastor who was intentional about meeting people where they were to change the trajectory of my life. Shortly after that, I attended Louisville Bible College to fulfill my desire to learn more but did not jump into ministry right away. It took several years and some hard lessons before I was ready to lead others in a church. But our God redeems, and I am grateful to do ministry here at The Ridge.
What I Do
I lead the congregation here at The Ridge in worship. Worship music can uplift our spirits, cultivate unity, and assist our expression and response to God. Another big part of what I do is develop our worship and production teams, guide the creative process, and organize worship services. Sometimes I pluck the strings of a guitar and sing into a mic.
Life Before The Ridge
Before coming to The Ridge, I worked for other churches and worked in a boy’s home. I studied Biblical studies at Louisville Bible College and human services and counseling at Indiana Wesleyan University. I am currently finishing a master's at IWU in psychology. I spent some time working as a welder and fabricator through college.
Words I Live By
“I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love”- Gandalf
When I'm Not at Work, I…
am doing dad stuff, learning languages, biking, playing guitar, board gaming, reading books, schooling, and going on random adventures.
Something that May Surprise You
