I grew up in Richardson and graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. After college, I spent over 35 years in business, most as a company owner. In 1994, God answered my prayers, and I met Lee Ann, my wife and soulmate. We have four children: Parker, Braxton, Brooke, and Katelyn. We are blessed with two daughters-in-law, Parker’s wife, Jaymie and Braxton’s wife, Anna. Lee Ann and I have been members at High Pointe for over 20 years and have served in several roles. I felt called to serve in ministry 30-plus years ago in an operations and finance capacity. In 2024, the Shepherds of High Pointe Church blessed me by asking me to join the staff as the Executive Pastor.
