Tell us what you do at Third:

I coordinate events and programming for Student Ministry with the Student Ministry Director, and I help steward the discipleship of our 3SM boys.

What is your favorite book(s)?

Lately I’ve been into a lot of historical non-fiction and horror. I’ve recently enjoyed The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson, and The Outsider by Stephen King. I recommend the Artemis Fowl series to all of my students.

What is your favorite thing to do in Richmond?

Food and friends! I love hanging with buddies over a meal at one of Richmond’s awesome restaurants. My current favorite spots are ZZQ, Pizza Bones, or Beauvine.

Tell us more about you, your family or what you like to do for fun. 

Nothing is more fun for me than curling up on the couch with my beloved, Brooke, and our two girls, Maya and Josie, watching a Disney movie. Conversely, I also thoroughly enjoy going to the movies by myself. I love listening to jazz, taking long drives around Richmond, and making music with friends, especially as part of the worship community of the city.

Why are you excited to be a part of the Third Church?

For most of my professional career, I’ve been committed both to serving students and to serving the church. This role allows me to do both, and to do so among such a generous and grace-filled community.
