About Me

I'm a 22 year old guy from Monterey, Tennessee. I just graduated from Free Will Baptist Bible College with a B.S. in Youth Ministry. I just moved to New Castle, Indiana where I am the youth pastor at the First Bible Free Will Baptist Church. My passions are music, sports, and especially running.

Most of all, my interest is God. I've failed Him daily, yet somehow his arms still open wide enough to squeeze me in there.

My Interests

Running, Sports
