About Me

I was born in Dallas and moved around the state growing up. My dad was a pastor for most of my childhood. We moved Grayson County in 1991 and that's when I met my wife, Amy. We got married in July of 1999 and moved to Marshall, TX where I finished my degree at ETBU. We served in churches around East Texas until moving to Van Alstyne in 2009 when I became the Lead Pastor at Elmont. While in East Texas we had our four daughters, Payton (2002), Laney (2004), Macy (2007), and Taylor (2008).
