College & Worship Pastor

How long have you been at Belmont Church? I began attending Belmont with my wife in the fall of 2025. Also, when I was a student at Belmont University from 2003 to 2006, Belmont Church was my home church and the first place that I found community in Nashville. I’m thankful to be back and serving on staff.

How long have you been in this position? I began serving as Worship and College Pastor in March 2026.

Best thing about your job: Seeing individuals encounter the presence of Jesus.

Family: My wife Hannah and I were married in 2011. 

What are things outside of work that help you refresh? I enjoy hiking, cooking Cajun food, playing chess, lap swimming, walking my border collie, and spending time with friends and family.

Worship songs you’ll always turn up: “Jesus You’re Beautiful” by David Brymer brings me to my knees. “How Great Thou Art” rarely fails to draw tears. “Goodbye Yesterday” by Elevation Rhythm always gets me dancing!

Life Scripture: 1 John 4:17 "In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world."
