I’m a follower of Jesus, a veteran, and someone who’s been shaped by both the corporate world and the call to ministry. My journey has taken me from leading in finance to serving in church leadership, and now into a new season of writing, mentoring, and investing in people wherever God opens the door.
I’m the founding Board Chair of No Longer Fatherless, a youth mentorship organization close to my heart, and previously served as Executive Director at Thrive Community Church in Port Orange, Florida—a place and people I continue to love and support.
I hold a Master’s in Nonprofit Management from Liberty University, and I’m passionate about helping others live out biblical principles in practical, meaningful ways. My books reflect that calling, inviting readers to align their lives with Scripture in a way that’s grounded, honest, and transformative.
At the end of the day, I’m most grateful for my wife (Selina, in the picture with me to the left), my daughter, and the daily opportunity to live a life of purpose, service, and faithfulness.
