Faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of my work. My calling is to help people connect, help families navigate a digital world, and use creativity to serve others.

Connection begins
with people.
I serve at FA Memphis in connection, online outreach, and creative ministry. I look for creative ways to reach people where they are and help them take a meaningful next step.
My books, music, and apps grow from that same desire: to encourage people, equip their creativity, and put faith into action.
