About My Family
I’m from Alabama and moved to Layton, Utah, in October of 2023. I have two siblings—a younger brother and an older sister. I play the drums, and I love coffee. I attained my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Troy University in 2022 and started the graduate program in clinical mental health counseling that same year. In the spring of 2023, God began to put Utah on my heart. In various conversations and instances, Utah just kept coming up.
So, in the summer of 2023, I came to Utah on GenSend, a summer-long mission trip for college students. Over the summer, God burdened my heart for the people of Utah, specifically the members of the LDS Church. Through God’s grace and provision, I was able to move back to Utah just a couple of months after I got home. Now I live to tell the people of Utah about God.

About My Church Plant
I desire to see the LDS people come to know the Jesus of the Bible. Most of my ministry is spent with young adults in the LDS Church. This can look like meeting up weekly for Bible studies, going to the institute (their free and public seminary) with them, spending the day at Temple Square talking to the missionaries there, hosting community events and worship nights, and then meeting them at the workplace.
It’s not particularly difficult to find someone who is LDS, considering the city I serve in, Kaysville, is 95% LDS. The challenge is breaking down the barriers of their culture. It is common for LDS individuals to assume we believe the same things, which, to me, is the big challenge. Before the gospel can really be shared, there has to be a sort of deconstruction. These things are difficult, but God is faithful.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
