I am an Appling County native, where I still live with my wife Rachel and my 3 children, Trinity, Leora, and Audrey. Discipleship is my passion, and I love to show people the deeper truths of Scripture.

 I have the joy of serving as one of the directors for Appling Applause high school show choir and assisting with Appling County middle and high school bands.

​I also serve my community as the chair for the Behavioral Health subcommittee of the Coalition for a Healthy Appling County.

I chose a career in counseling after wrestling with God about where I should attend school and what aspirations I wanted to pursue. He did not relent until I trusted Him completely, and I have never looked back.

​I saw how God used listening ears and encouraging words, sometimes a thoughtful challenge to faulty thinking, to bring me closer in fellowship with Him. This, I knew, was how I wanted to spend my time: giving to others what God so graciously gave to me.

I work with all ages and most issues here at Cord of 3, but I especially enjoy working with ages 18 – 30 (Millenials) as they move through transitioning into adulthood, college, careers, marriage, and family life.

My own journey of coping with Autism, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and a hearing disability affords me a unique perspective when helping clients who face similar issues. I love walking with recently diagnosed individuals through the process of discovering how God has made them and will equip them to walk in the good works He has prepared for them (Ephesians 2:10). I also frequently work with parents and caregivers. My background in Behavior Analysis allows me to help parents develop effective disciplinary approaches to problematic behaviors.
