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.

3(K + IC) / BP = TEAM
The leadership equation I didn't know I needed.
K = Karaoke 🎤
IC = Improv Comedy 😂
3 = Three days together on a seminary campus
BP = Business Planning
TEAM = A whole lot of laughter, a clearer vision, some embarrassing videos, and a stronger team because of it.
I spent three days last week with our leadership team planning for the year ahead. We had some great conversations, challenged each other, laughed a LOT, and somewhere along the way ended up singing Sailing together at karaoke.
There may have also been some questionable dancing, country music, and a pretty enthusiastic performance of This Is How We Do It.
(If you want the video, DM me. I’ll share the evidence. 😂)
But here’s what really stuck with me from the week.
We’re all in the same boat. We share a vision for where we’re going, we know the kind of people we want to bring along, and everyone has an oar in their hands, ready to row.
The challenge? We don’t always agree on how to get to our destination.
And that’s okay!
We’re already a team where 1+1=2. What we’re working toward is figuring out how to make 1+1=3. How do we take all of our individual strengths and turn them into something bigger than what any of us could accomplish alone?
For me, that means letting go of something.
I’ve spent a lot of time believing that owning my market meant I needed to make most of the decisions. I’m realizing that sometimes the best thing I can do is step aside and give someone else the space to do something better than I could.
It also means being willing to have hard conversations. To be candid, even when it’s uncomfortable. To trust each other enough to disagree, work through misunderstandings, and come out better on the other side.
I walked into this week feeling responsible for a lot.
I walked out excited to share that responsibility with some pretty incredible people.
I’m reminded that leadership isn’t a title. It’s not even a mindset.
It’s a heart posture. A genuine desire to see the people around you grow and to create space for them to do so.
And if we can figure out how to row in the same direction while still finding time to laugh and sing some terrible karaoke together, I think we’re going to be just fine.
