Ridgedale has been my church home since 2006 when I was in middle school. Since then I’ve played in the worship band, helped with youth, college ministry, and then the Young Professional ministry full time in 2023. I attended Lee University for my undergrad and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for my M.Div. Ever since High School I’ve felt a strong desire to serve God’s people. God has been very gracious to me and I want to help display that. 

Before working at Ridgedale I worked in the Information Systems industry. During the COVID pandemic I worked at a local hospital as a trauma Chaplain. I don’t miss the 24 hour shifts or on-call nights, but I love the work we accomplished and am honored to have served in that unique setting.

I’m very excited to marry my fiancé, Caroline Pepper, in 2024!

I’ve always been a big soccer fan, playing in school, and have recently been rooting for Aston Villa. I’ve also gotten into f1 racing, much to my fiancé’s dismay. I’d love to get to know you, please send me an email!
