I began leading worship at 17 years old, and at 20, I was blessed to join the staff at First Baptist Coldspring. Music has always been a passion of mine, but more than that, I love creating an atmosphere where people can encounter Jesus through worship.
My faith journey started when I gave my life to Christ at 10 years old, and I firmly believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. It’s my greatest joy to serve Him through ministry and worship.
Outside of church, I’m a Certified Flight Instructor, working toward my goal of becoming an airline pilot. When I’m not flying or leading worship, you can find me spending time with friends, playing sports, or making music.
I’m grateful to be part of what God is doing at First Montgomery and excited to continue serving this community!
