What year did you start working at First Baptist? 
2009  

Tell us how you came to know Christ: 
I was at my home church in Greenville when I was eleven and after years of my parents talking to me about a relationship with Jesus and most of our church staff talking to me about it (at the prodding of my mother), something “hit” me during worship and it all made sense.  So I sat in my pew and asked God to forgive me, clean me up, give me a new start and be Lord of my life. 

What’s your favorite thing about your job? 
The people I work with – teenagers, people who love teenagers, and our church staff.  

What’s your favorite Bible verse currently? 
2 Corinthians 3:18  

What do you feel like God is teaching you lately? 
How to live a balanced life and to live well in all of the areas of my life. 

What are your hobbies? 
Being with my family, hunting, fishing, snow skiing and riding my motorcycle

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up and why? 
Depended on the day… firefighter, police officer, soldier, independently wealthy, pilot, Olympian, professional athlete, president, football coach, bull rider, doctor, orthodontist, state trooper, game warden, dentist, anesthesiologist, accountant, engineer, math teacher, mathematics professor, professional student or cowboy.  Why?  Because, for the most part, they would all be fun.  

Tell us a bit about your family? 
They’re awesome.  Married the most amazing woman I ever met and God has blessed us with the most joyous child in history. 

What’s your favorite meal and who would be attending? 
German combination plate at Edelweiss in Fort Worth with the fam.  

Tell us a little known fact about yourself: 
I don’t have a tattoo.   

Why should someone get involved at First Baptist Church Arlington? 
Our church really sees itself as a family.  You’ll be loved on, you’ll laugh a lot and you will be challenged to become more like Jesus.
