About My Family
I am a middle-aged fellow who loves the things most middle-aged fellows love: my family and friends, (Atlanta) sports and a plate of good food! I have two children, a daughter who studies at the University of Georgia, and a son who is a high-school junior. They are the apple of my eye.
I also have a couple of “adopted sons.” One has three kids who are some of the biggest joys of my life. The other one is a college student, pursuing a professional baseball career. These two adopted sons are the result of long-term discipleship relationships from the past.
In addition to the stuff I listed above, I am an avid Georgia Bulldog fan, and I enjoy bowling. I gave up golf, as the frustration it caused me was an interference in the process of my sanctification!

About My Church Plant
I surrendered to vocational ministry as a teenager. It has been quite a journey from that day until today, but God has guided my steps and led my heart throughout. I began my professional ministry as a student pastor in 1999.
In 2008, the Lord called me to the city of Atlanta as an urban missionary pastor. I began with a church re-plant in east Atlanta, where I served for eight years. The Lord did a marvelous work in that church and community.
After a short break from this work to pastor in a more traditional environment, the Lord has once again placed me in the city of Atlanta, doing another replant in the community of Scottdale. I am so excited to see how the Lord will move, once again, as we seek to revitalize this gospel presence in our city.

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.
