My Background

I’m a native of Columbia, SC, but have been glad to call East Tennessee home since 2002. I’m an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA) with experience in computer science and web design. I attended Furman University (B.A.) in Greenville, SC and Columbia Theological Seminary (M.Div., D.Min.) in Atlanta, GA. Since 2016, I’ve been the pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Elizabethton, TN, a progressive Christian community committed to social justice, welcome, and inclusivity. I enjoy triathlons, tennis, home brewing, cooking, and woodworking in my spare time.
