I was born into a Christian missionary home and was raised from an early age to value Truth. Homeschooled all the way through the high school, I spent my childhood with my younger brother romping around in the central Texas woods and inventing imaginary worlds. I’ve always valued wonder and imagination and still cling devotedly to the fiction of C. S. Lewis, Tolkien, and George MacDonald. I’ve written many fiction novel manuscripts but with only one in print.
Like most young men, I was reluctant to surrender my life to Christ despite calling myself a “Christian“. After doing a DTS at YWAM Tyler over the winter-spring of 2018, I was getting close to full surrender, but was holding out against total devotion to Jesus. Over the year of 2019, God broke down my walls and I surrendered my life completely to the Lord. After that experience, I devoted myself to studying the Scriptures at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where I met my amazing wife, Hannah. We have a beautiful baby girl and currently live in Lindale Texas.
I love peace and quiet and Christian punk music (never at the same time), walks in the woods, and listening to audio books. I still love playing games with my little brother.
