Family: Wife, Autumn, is a Nurse Practitioner at Holston Medical Group in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Daughter, Reese, is currently in 5th grade and enjoys art, cooking, and is involved in multiple sports.

With the exception of five years spent in western North Carolina, I have spent my entire life in Kingsport, Tennessee. While growing up at Colonial Heights Baptist Church, I recognized my need for Christ and it was there where a belief and faith in Christ was formed.

As I started my professional career in education and athletics, I have spent sixteen years at Daniel Boone High School teaching and coaching football, girls basketball, and serving as the head baseball coach for fourteen seasons.

Over the last three years, I have experienced a calling from God to “do more” for Him. At the encouragement from our senior pastor, I enrolled in Liberty University in the summer of 2017 to begin seminary classes. It was through this experience that I felt God’s calling to preach His Word.

Family:  My husband, Doug, and I have been married for almost 10 years. Doug was a member of Promise Ministries when we met and I started attending not long after.  Promise Ministries and our church family have been such a blessing in our lives.  We have two girls.  Josey is 7 and Tilley is 6.  Both girls love playing sports, reading, dancing, and anything that gets them outside near the pool or the ocean.

Me:  I am from Kingsport and have spent all my years in the tri-cities area.  I graduated from ETSU (Go BUCS!) and am currently a Math teacher at Sullivan South High School.  I love spending time with my family.  We love to cook, work in our garden, attend sporting events, spend time with our church family, movie nights, and just spend time with our loved ones.  Our daughters have been so blessed by the wonderful teachers and leaders of Promise Ministries and I feel like it is an honor to serve our church by working with the Kids of Promise.  I truly love to see the Joy and Truth of Christ come alive in their lives!
