About My Family
My wife, Avery, and I currently live in New Orleans, La. We both love the city in which God has placed us and deeply long to see the people in our community glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We currently live at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where I am going to school, pursuing a master’s degree. We have one daughter, whose name is Isla, and we have a great dog named Spock. We all four love to go on long walks together as we spend time in the community in which our church is located.
Avery is very talented at cooking, sewing, working with children, crafting and many other things. I enjoy reading, woodworking, fly-fishing, drawing and things similar to these. Though we have our hobbies, our favorite thing to do is to worship God and to evangelize with our church family in the Bywater.

About My Ministry
I currently serve as one of the pastors of Refuge Church, located in the Bywater community of New Orleans. We are in a very unique and diverse community. I have spoken to many people in the past few years who have a wide variety of beliefs, all of which consistently reject Jesus Christ and the Bible. Furthermore, throughout the thousands of recorded gospel conversations we have had, we have met only a handful of people who claim to believe in Jesus.
We desire to see our community become a place where Jesus Christ is worshiped. We long to see a believer on every single block within the community. Our church gatherings are held in the Healing Center, which is owned by a variety of New Orleanians and is used for multiple things. We gather within the Healing Center in hopes that one day it will become a place of true gospel healing.
