nice to meet you!

I am a husband, dad, and pastor.

My wife and I met in college at Charleston Southern University and married on December 20, 2008. We immediately began serving in ministry together.

Two years later, we moved on faith to Orangeburg, S.C. and got involved in Cornerstone Community Church. After just a couple of months, I was hired on staff. I served as Orangeburg Campus Pastor at Cornerstone, a campus with an average of 1400 attendees until January of 2017. I now serve as Teaching Pastor for Springwell Church in Taylors, S.C.

In June 2014, I released my first book, Next Up: 8 Shifts Great Young Leaders Make.  In 2018, I released a second book, Be the Switch: Living Your Calling While Living Your Life , that encourages people of all ages to find the calling God has placed on their lives and walk in it no matter where they find themselves. The sermon series based off of the book has been preached in churches all over the country.

Melissa and I welcomed our first child, Riley, into the world in April of 2014. Riley is a fun making, baseball playing, Jesus loving boy, with a personality that fills the room.
