About My Family

I grew up in Athens, Ga., as the youngest of three siblings in a small town. I was familiar with church and the Christian idea of God, but I didn’t take Bible seriously until I went to high school. I decided to investigate it for myself, and it proved to be trustworthy time and time again.

I kept following Jesus as I walked through college at the University of Georgia, and my faith grew immensely. Through the experiences I was given there, I became convinced that the purpose of my life was to glorify the God of the Bible. I also met and began a relationship with my now wife, Bri, during that time. We married and moved to Atlanta, Ga., after I graduated October 9, 2021. Besides serving at Gospel Hope Church, I currently work as a freelance writer. Bri is a teacher in the public school system.

About My Church Plant

Our service at Gospel Hope is currently centered around discipling college students through a partnership with the SALT Network and cultivating our church’s Awana program.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom we speak. Pray that through this ministry, more people would come to saving faith and live on mission. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.

Participate

Build relationships with missionaries and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Learn birthdays and anniversaries, so you can send gifts and cards.
Learn the ministry strategy and context, so you can provide relevant resources. Support a missionary financially.
