About Me

We love Jesus. We want to do what the Lord wants us to do. One of the reasons that we're here in Nashville. We love each other and have been married for almost 8 years. We have three amazing children: Isaiah, Micah and Layla. They keep us on our toes and make us laugh. We have awesome family and friends that love and support us. So, life is good. Not perfect, but good. We are blessed by the Lord and He is our everything.
