Market Director
.
I live in Rutherford County Tennessee with my wife of 14 years, my four amazing children, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a host of backyard chickens and ducks.
When I am not "on the clock" or getting my animal husbandry merit badge, I prioritize my family, friends, and my church. I love my career because it gives me the opportunity to do something meaningful with my life while being able to be an active presence in the lives of my family and my community.
Great question. In May of 2020 our family dynamic was forever changed by the arrival of our youngest, Josephine Grace. She spent two months in the NICU where we learned that she had a rare genetic disorder that resulted in some physical challenges for her to overcome. As parents this was a scary time, but we had a community of people that surrounded us with prayer and blessings.
Josie overcomes so much adversity every day. She is a big part of my desire to help people tackle the very same challenges we walk through daily.
I am proud to be connected with Thrivent. It is humbling to be a part of an organization focused on helping people live generously and achieve financial clarity.
I enjoy building relationships and connecting people. Introducing someone to valuable resources or trusted professionals is one of the most rewarding things we can do for one another. If you think you or someone you care about could benefit from my financial advice, let's set up a complimentary exploratory meeting.
Let me help you view money as a tool, not a goal. Remember, the best time to talk with me is yesterday.

What if someone else could actually do it better than me?
That’s a question I’ve been challenging myself with lately, and I’ll admit, it’s a little uncomfortable.
I’ve spent much of my career figuring things out, solving problems, and helping make sure things get done. I enjoy it, I’m pretty good at it, and frankly, sometimes it can feel easier to do something myself.
But I’m realizing that one of the things that has contributed to what success I’ve been able to find, by God’s grace, might also be limiting my growth as a leader.
I’m surrounded by an incredibly talented team whose knowledge, experience, and gifting strengthen everything we do. Their contributions are essential, and they often bring perspectives, solutions, and strengths that I don’t have. In many cases, they may accomplish something better than I would.
So why do I sometimes struggle to let go?
I think part of it is learning the difference between being accountable for an outcome and feeling responsible for controlling every part of the process.
Every hour I spend trying to control today is an hour I’m not investing in tomorrow.
My teammates don’t need me looking over their shoulders or inserting myself into every decision. They need me focused on what’s next: the next opportunity, the next initiative, the next person we bring onto the team, and how we position ourselves for continued growth.
I need to be living three months in the future while trusting my teammates to lead and own today.
That doesn’t mean stepping away from accountability or diminishing my responsibility. It means honoring the people who make our work possible, recognizing their expertise, ensuring they have the resources and support they need, and giving them the freedom to contribute fully in the ways they’re uniquely equipped to do.
I’m still working on this, but I’m recognizing that my next level of growth may have less to do with what I can accomplish and more to do with how well I support and empower others to accomplish what only they can bring to the table.
For those of you in leadership, what’s been harder: learning to let go of control or trusting that someone else might do it better?

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) can be a smart way to turn a required withdrawal into a meaningful gift.
A QCD allows you to give directly from your IRA to a nonprofit you care about. It can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), potentially lower your taxable income and even help manage your future Medicare costs.
