Personal Statement:

I responded in faith and repentance to the gospel at the age of fifteen. Shortly after, at the age of seventeen, I desired to serve the Lord in ministry. After graduating high school, I attended the University of Central Florida, where I met my wife. Upon graduation from college, my wife and I married and moved to Louisville, KY for seminary.
My desire is the see God glorified through the centrality of His word in singing, preaching, prayer, discipleship, and evangelism. I believe that only through the word of God being central in all things can the gospel be properly proclaimed and it is only through this gospel can people be saved. Therefore, if it is only through the gospel that people can be saved, then it should be our mission to display the gospel through our words and actions to those around us and ultimately to the ends of the earth.
