As the son of a Presbyterian pastor, I spent my early childhood years in Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina before my family moved to Columbia, SC, when I was ten years old. After graduating from Richland Northeast High School and the University of South Carolina, I worked in various restaurant and retail management roles before the Lord directed my path to SAPC. I have been blessed to serve this congregation as the Facilities Manager since May of 2012. I am married to Amy, SAPC’s Director of Music & Arts, and we have one adult son, Tripp. 

I have felt the presence and influence of God in my life for as long as I can remember, but it was on a church youth retreat that the Holy Spirit overwhelmingly drew me to Jesus and into a personal relationship with my Savior. I strive to adhere to Colossians 3:23-24 every day: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
