I was born in Tifton, GA, in October of 1976. I come from a family of four children, myself being the oldest, with two brothers, Shawn and Jason, and sister, Tiffany. I spent most of my childhood in Dublin, Georgia until our family relocated to Port Huron, Michigan in January 1990. I was fortunate to grow up in a Christian home with an involved mom and dad.

During my senior year in high school (New Life Christian Academy – Class of 1994), I was hired at Life of Faith Fellowship (LOFF) to help in the maintenance department. As the church grew, my dad (who was the senior pastor at that time) had a vision to start a multi-media department that would produce a weekly television show, take care of all graphic design, and integrate media into our worship services. He asked me if I'd be interested in getting involved, and from that day on, I was the head of the church's media department.

I was employed for 10 years at Life of Faith Fellowship. My job duties included overseeing several staff in my department, managing 20+ volunteers, producing weekly TV programs, creating motion graphics, developing media for our "live" services, and graphic design... just to name a few. It was a great learning experience and gave me the training I needed to grow.
