About My Family
I grew up in Birmingham, Ala., and attended Samford University. After spending two summers in Alaska through the North American Mission Board's summer missions program, I moved to Alaska where I took a ministry position. There I met Amy, and we married in 2005. We are parents to four great daughters (Lily, Addisyn, Karis and Amelie).
After spending nine years in Birmingham, planting and pastoring a church, we moved to Boston to plant a life-giving church as part of the Send Boston team.

About My Church Plant
We moved to Boston in July 2018, and I began a church planting residency with City on a Hill Church. Through this residency and Send Network training, the Lord led us to plant a church in the Jamaica Plan Neighborhood of Boston, near the Forest Hills train station. Four Boston neighborhoods converge here.
There are more than 25,000 people within walking distance of Forest Hills and the area continues to grow with numerous housing developments bringing thousands of new residents over the next few years. The neighborhood is a mix of old Boston, immigrants and young urban professionals. Our vision is to bridge these different people groups so people from every culture will follow Jesus as King for the good of Boston!

NAMB Church Planting
Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.
