Greetings to each of you in the name of our Lord Jesus. I am glad that you have taken the time to look around our
website. We hope you will find it useful, but more than that, we hope it serves as a bridge so that we can get to know you
better and help you deepen your walk with God by following Christ. Let me tell you a little about myself.

I was born in Corinth, Mississippi in 1968. My parents still own a small furniture business in Corinth and are members of Gaines Chapel United Methodist church where I came to know Christ during my teenage years. After graduating from Corinth High School in 1987, I enrolled at Northeast Community College in order to pursue a degree in music. In 1989 I transferred to the University of Memphis to complete the degree. Within a few months, however, the Lord began to redirect my path and the following year I transferred to Crichton College, a Christian liberal arts school, where I completed a degree in Liberal Studies.

While at Crichton, I met Jill Allman, the daughter of one of my professors. Jill and I were married in June, 1993 after she had completed a degree in English Literature. In July of that same year, we moved to Dallas, Texas in order for me to pursue a Masters degree at Dallas Theological Seminary. Our oldest daughter Hannah was born in 1997 at the end of our third year in seminary. Due to complications with Jill's pregnancy, Hannah weighed only 3.5 pounds at birth. Although small, she had no other complications and is now an energetic and healthy little girl. In April of 2004 we added a new member to our family, our daughter Sara Michal. God has richly blessed our family and we give Him thanks for drawing us closer to Him and to one another as each day passes.

After graduating from DTS in May of 1998, we returned to Memphis to be closer to family. I was first introduced to TSF and Tom Murray by my employers at the time who were also members of the TSF board. After several discussions with Tom, it became clear that our goals and passions were much the same. On December 1, 2000, I came on team with Truth Seekers as Training and Resource Coordinator. It is amazing how God has brought our paths together, matching our talents and passion for discipleship.

With Tom’s "graduation" into the Lord’s presence in August of 2005, the board of directors asked me to take on the mantle of the next general director of the ministry. Although I know that I could never replace Tom, I do pray that by God’s wisdom and empowerment I will be able to serve this ministry in continuing to pursue the great goal of teaching, training, and equipping men and women to become committed, confident, creative, and competent disciples of the Lord Jesus.
