ABOUT

One of my favorite verses is 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Evidence of a born-again believer is a transformed life.

I was raised Catholic and lived a troubled childhood. On May 24, 2018, while attending a tent revival at Gospel Light Baptist Church in Powhatan at 9:13 p.m., the LORD saved me—a broken, angry, hate-filled 42-year-old man. Afterward, my life began to change, as if the LORD had hit the reset button. It's as if the LORD put me back together. Now, peace and love fill my heart.

Nine months later, toward the end of a Sunday morning service, I surrendered my life to serving the LORD. From May 2019 through December 2021, I served as a volunteer Assistant Youth Leader and later, as a Youth Leader and Sunday School Teacher.

In January 2022, Gospel Light Baptist Church brought me on staff as Teen Ministry Director. I was ordained into the Gospel ministry on May 21, 2023, and continued serving as Youth Pastor until July 2024, when I enrolled at Liberty University Online to pursue a B.S. in Bible and Christian Ministry.

In January 2026, the LORD allowed me to begin serving as Assistant Pastor at Mount Moriah Baptist Church. I have been married to my wife, Trish, since 2002. We have two adult children, Joe and Sarah, and our baby, Rebekah, who is in heaven. In addition to ministry, I work in the Information Technology department of a public school system.
