Born in the small town of Sandersville, Georgia, I grew up in nearby (and slightly larger) Macon.

I enjoyed the blessing of being raised in a Christian home, educated at a Christian school, and attending a strong Christ centered church. He received a B.A. from Mercer University in 1987 and a Master’s Degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1997. On October 26, 1991, I married my sweetheart, the former Andrea Johnson. We have one adult daughter named Rebekah.

I began in ministry serving various churches in youth and music ministries, but God called me to pastor in 1986.  Since that time, I have pastored Cooperville Baptist Church (Coopers, GA), Cadwell (GA) Baptist Church, Pointe South Community Church (Riverdale, GA), First Baptist Church of Hoschton, Georgia, First Baptist Church of Ty Ty, Georgia, and now Bellevue Baptist in Macon, Georgia.

I love to cook, write, read, and surf the internet, and I am a big-time sports fan – especially the Atlanta Braves. I love music – everything from classical to R&B, from country to rock and everything in between.

Here is a video describing how I became a Jesus follower:
