Home is where the heart is, and this heart has only known home to be found in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. I was born and raised in Stoney Creek, TN, where I've lived nearly all my life.
Much of my raising happened in these mountains’ small, country churches, where I first came to love Christ. For better or worse, they gave me the opportunity to preach at the ripe age of sixteen. Since my first sermon, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and ministering to some of the most caring and loving people you could ever meet. I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to pastor a few of them while completing my undergraduate degree.
I graduated Milligan College with my B.A. in Political Science and Humanities while minoring in History and Bible. My interests at Milligan in theology and politics led me to Duke Divinity School, where I obtained my Master of Divinity in 2022. I now spend much of my professional time as a community organizer and writer, and in my free time, you can find me reading, playing basketball, or cheering on my Vols.
At heart, I’m just a baptist, hillbilly preacher who loves Christ, people, and the mountains. I don't claim to have any answers. I simply believe that Love is the deepest reality of our lives and has the power to create a world where all God's children are cherished and affirmed. It is this Love on which I hope to build my life, and so also it is this Love to which I will focus my writing.
