About Me

Who Am I?

  • Thankful that I am not tied down to a desk every day.
  • Driven…self-driven, trying to get as much out of each day as possible. I often leave the office disturbed that I have not accomplished much. But then there are days I give myself permission not to do anything.
  • Forgiven, follower of Christ who often makes mistakes.
  • Husband of Melissa for the last 28 years…she still puts up with me.
  • Father of two blessings from God who humble me by their soft hearts and love for God.
  • An organized musician surrounded by creative types.
  • Uncomfortable in large social settings.
  • Reader who feels there are way too many books for the amount of time there is to read.
  • Addicted to exercise peanut butter and chocolate chips.
  • Viewer of the big picture and comfortable with the logistics
  • Passionate about my job.
  • Enjoying the new opportunity to serve as a leadership coach

What values guide me?

  • My relationship with God is number 1
  • Committed to my relationship with my wife
  • God has placed her together…I love her…we are better together than separate.

  • Recognize that has a plan for my life
  • Loving and honoring my parents

  • What I’ve Read
  • What I am reading

What’s Next?

  • God has a plan

Today
I have been serving for the last 12 years as the Associate Pastor/Worship and Music at ClearView Baptist Church, Franklin, Tennessee. In this position I help communicate the importance of living a life of worship and planning worship experiences that allow people to continue that conversation as a large group. I am fortunate to lead a team of amazing, gifted people who make coming to work very enjoyable.
