Life Story

Grew up in the church my whole life. Knew nothing other. Was involved with music and technology while growing up in the church. Was intrigued with audio and lights. Quit high school baseball at 16 to work for local production company doing audio and lights or various artist and local concerts. Worked through high school and college. At 20, made the move to Nashville, TN where the past 8 years have the opportunity to tour as Front of House Engineer, Road and Production Manager for different artist and serve in different churches.

Sensing a Call

I have seen how technology is used to enhance the gospel and worship experience in the church. I feel God has called me to serve in a capacity in the church to help make our worship experiences in the church more appealing to the unchurched and to the churched.

Vision

I love what is going on at First Hattiesburg. I believe that we are on the verge of creating a new way to worship in Hattiesburg. My vision for this church is that the church will come alive in their affections for

their creator and enjoy how good He is.
