When and how did the Lord save you?
From a very early age, the Lord turned my heart and affections toward Him and saved me. I'm grateful for His grace to save me and put me in a family with a spiritual legacy that goes back multiple generations. Through a football injury in High School, God used that trial and the encouragement from my uncle who was a pastor to draw me closer to Jesus and a passion and hunger for Him and Scripture that has continued to grow to this day.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I came to the Village in 2012 as I was serving on staff with Acts 29 (a church planting network) and Pastor Matt had recently become the president of Acts 29 so we moved offices to Flower Mound. In 2015 I had the honor to come on staff at the Village initially as a Home Groups Minister and presently the Church Planting Director.

Book/Movie/TV Show Recommendation and Why
"Bruchko" by Bruce Olson as it's an amazing story of a young man's obedience to the calling God had on him to be a missionary to a stone age tribe. "The Chosen" is just so amazing; tears of joy almost every episode.

TED Talk Subject & Why
How to discern a "calling" to church planting?

Childhood Dream Job
I would be playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys!

Fictional Character Friend & Why
Dominic Toretto because he's all about family and has great adventures saving the world.
