I am a Biblical Counselor and Board Certified Pastoral Counselor. I am a lifelong resident of Hattiesburg, MS, and by nature, a friendly and simple person. My insecurities and experiences from childhood and adolescence fueled my early-in-life and present passion for helping people experience transformation, significance, and purpose. Once I began my recovery in 2012, my enthusiasm intensified and expanded to helping men and young men in their recovery journeys. Over my lifetime, I have had the privilege of serving others as a student pastor, associate and recovery pastor, pastor, volunteer speaker at the Homes of Grace Addiction Recovery Program, probation officer within the juvenile justice system, and guest speaker at various venues. I enjoy working out, eating ice cream, hanging out at coffee shops, and being with others.
