TVC Responsibilities:
I curate spaces of welcome and hospitality throughout events and services at TVC. I lead leaders that serve in the areas of Connections and Events. I come alongside people as they seek to take steps toward belonging and purpose within the church.

When and how did the Lord save you?
At an Easter service in my small hometown in Texas, God was so kind to reveal to 8-year-old me that He sent Jesus to die for me. Even though I gave my life to Jesus on that day, it was the pursuit of the Spirit who drew me in and called me to ministry during the summer before 7th grade that would change the trajectory of my life.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I joined the TVC staff in December of 2020 after serving for 11 years in Northwest Arkansas (Bentonville). Brooke, my wife, was also on staff with me as the Women’s Director. We had an abrupt and hard end to that season of ministry and we earnestly sought the Lord to lead us to a next assignment where there was a plurality of leadership, diversity was longed for, and the Spirit was alive through prayer. The answer to those prayers was The Village Church.

If you had to give a TED Talk, what subject would you choose to speak on, and why?
It would be entitled “What a WONDERful World,” and I would talk about how we have lost the art of wonder. As a kid, I would get lost for hours in creating wonderful worlds, and it brought so much joy. As an adult, I often get lost in the ordinary and wonderful connections and beauty that exist around me. The opportunity for wonder and joy is all around us, but do we miss it because of busyness and stress?

If you were to have your childhood dream job, what would your job be?
I would be a sketch comedy actor on Saturday Night Live. From the age of 6 or 7, I stayed up every Saturday night to watch.

Favorite Hobby:
I love spending time with my family. Going on adventures, coaching them in sports, traveling, and enjoying a movie or game night is where it’s at!
