Emily and I have been married over 25 years and have two children, Eleanor and Simpson.  We moved to Nashville in 2002 to attend Vanderbilt for graduate schools with plans to move back to Atlanta after graduation, but God had other plans for us. I have had a career in commercial real estate and in addition to be a terrific mom Emily is the owner of a sewing and fabric store, The Children’s Corner.   We began attending Fellowship Bible Church in 2002, which at the time was meeting at Franklin High School prior to moving to the Brentwood campus.  Living in 12th South since 2004 we were excited when we heard Fellowship was considering launching a new campus in town.  We were part of the core group for Fellowship Nashville, lead a City Group, and have been privileged to see God’s provisions as this local church is impacting our community  

Faith Story

I grew up in a Christian home and put my faith in Jesus at an early age.  However, I didn’t understand the true power of grace until after college and even now continue to grow in my comprehension of God’s free gift.  In working through a bible study on spiritual gifts several years ago God challenged me to follow in obedience while trusting and relying on his plans rather than my abilities.  At the same time each of us is called to use our spiritual gifts to help grow his kingdom.  I can find tension in these ideas, but it calls me to live as a generous servant for Christ while trusting God’s plan rather than my own.
