He graduated from Southern Seminary with a M.Div. and a D.Min. For undergrad, he studied at North Greenville University and earned a B.A. in Christian Studies. When preaching at FUGE Camps, he desires to preach expository sermons in an engaging manner. He knows the impact that camp can have on students, so he wants to expose these students to the life-changing message of the gospel.

In addition to those resources, he has also written for Lifeway and collaborated with the Kendrick Brothers on numerous projects.
