I live in Middle Tennessee with my wife, Kristin, and our three sons, Anders, Garron, and William. As a family, we love to travel and experience new places together. One of our favorite family trips is Disney World or Disneyland.

Kristin and I are alumni of Lipscomb University where we each completed our undergraduate and graduate work with the College of Business and the College of Education. Kristin currently serves as a proud member of the faculty of our secondary-level alma mater, Goodpasture Christian School. I serve clients across the United States in a full-time capacity as a financial advisor. Apart from my full-time role, I also serve as a professional speaker, author, and content creator.

In my career, I have served as a teacher and coach, the Director of Marketing and Communication for a national on-site healthcare company, and a football official for the ACC, CUSA, ASUN, OVC, and Mid-South conferences. I have also volunteered my time to serving as a deacon for our various church communities and as a Board Member of Living Sent Ministries, a ministry focused on encouraging and equipping people to connect Sunday to Monday by living out discipleship in their professional lives. Kristin and I are also the co-founders of The Grant James Foundation, an organization that operates as the benefactor to ministries serving families impacted by infertility and miscarriage. We have developed a heart for this community through our experience of infertility and losing our fourth son, Grant James, to miscarriage.

I firmly believe everything we have is a gift from God, and our responsibility is to use our time, talents, and treasures to the best of our ability for Him. No matter our occupation, our vocation is to love God, love people, and love people so much we can't help but tell them how much God loves them. I would welcome sharing more about how God has opened doors to me in all aspects of my life to develop as a leader and influence His Kingdom.
