I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After Hurricane Katrina I moved back to Mobile, Alabama for nine months, but returned to the Crescent City in June 2006. Two years to the day after that, I left New Orleans for an eleven month detox in Fort Worth, [Republic of] Texas. Now I'm back in Mobile.
I love to travel and I rarely leave home without my Canon EOS 40D. I've been to 35 states, 3 provinces, and a few countries. While living in Fort Worth I realized that being within short driving distance of a large body of salt water is important to me.

Tonight I preached for the first time since February 2006, and it’s only one of a few opportunities since I left Mobile to come to seminary in 2004. For someone who had gotten use to being heard on a regular basis, to preach tonight was an incredible blessing- one I didn’t take for granted. Maybe...
Joe McKeever, the Director of Missions at the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans (BAGNO), wrote a post on his blog a few weeks ago outlining the status of our local Baptist churches. He broke them down into three categories: struggling, flourishing but with issues, and normal. My church, Edgewater, fell under the...
Two years ago I packed up a few of my things and drove to my parents’ home in Mobile, Alabama. At the time, New Orleans had issued a voluntary evacuation; NOBTS issued a mandatory evacuation. Two days later, Hurricane Katrina pushed onshore as a category 3 hurricane. It was something I’d been...
