I am a native of Tullahoma, Tennessee and a newcomer to Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Union University in 2016 and Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2021. I began PhD Studies at Gateway Seminary in the fall of 2024. I was called to pastor UBC in October of 2019, and it is my first church as pastor. God has blessed me with my beautiful and godly wife, Elizabeth and our son, Charles. My prayer for UBC is that we would pursue faithfulness to Christ and His gospel together, ever growing closer to Him and going further for His kingdom.
