Summary

I was licensed into the ministry on October 7, 2017 at Beverly Manor Baptist Church of Staunton Va. Then ordained later on July 20, 2019 by my Pastor/professor James McIntosh.

I started attending church from a very young age at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church of Waynesboro, Va under the leadership of Reverend Allen Crawley. Then as a teenager growing up I became a part of Christ Tabernacle Church of God in Christ of Waynesboro VA under the guidance of Bishop C.D. Brown.

During the period of 2000-2002, I had the privilege of serving in the United States Navy where I was station aboard the USS Nimitz in Bremerton, Washington! In 2001, I met and married Deanna Martin of Harrisonburg, VA. and we have been united for 25 years. This is also when I joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church of Shenandoah, VA. where I remained a member for 16 years.

I am a compassionate and skilled pastoral leader with over 8 years of experience in grief support and church event coordination. Known for delivering inspiring sermons and enhancing worship services, with a recognizable commitment to help all communities while joining together with other clergy sharing my love and teamwork.
