I was born and raised in Rougemont, North Carolina where I was homeschooled through grade school. I grew up in the church, and have spent all of my life doing ministry in some capacity. I also attended The College at Southeastern, and received my Bachelors in Christian Studies.

My primary responsibilities at Ridgecrest are to seek the Lord's direction for our worship of Him, and to serve, lead, and guide the church to behold the majesty of God. Specifically I do this at our 10:30 Exalt Service and with our students on Wednesday night.

When I find the time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, praying, expanding my musicianship, reading, and playing the occasional video game.

The Lord revealed Himself to me on April 12th, 2015, and I gave my life to Him. The church I attended previously had been praying for months that revival would take place in our hearts, and the Lord was beyond faithful to answer those prayers. In 2020, the Lord kindled a fire within me to spend more time in prayer, and I have seen Him do so many amazing things in the large and small details of life.
