Background: I was born and raised in Ardmore, AL. I grew up at Community Baptist Church where I was saved by Christ Jesus at age 13. God would call me to pastoral ministry while in the youth ministry at Community Baptist. After being called to pastoral ministry, I had the opportunity to serve as a pastoral intern and campus coordinator at Lindsay Lane East before transitioning into full-time student ministry at Salem Springs Baptist. I am happy to now serve as the Preaching/Teaching Pastor of The Church at River Mills in a replanting effort since 2022.

Education: I entered into the Accelerate Program at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where I was able to complete my Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies at Spurgeon College as well as my Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Expositional Preaching from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Family: I am married to my lovely, encouraging, and always supportive wife, Jesse Hicks. Jesse has always supported me as I have sought to follow God faithfully. Together, Jesse and I have a heart for the church and to see lost souls saved through faith in Christ. We also have one son together, Oliver Haddon. 

Favorite Bible Verse: “For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified." Romans 8:29-30

‍Hobbies: I am an avid Tennessee Titans fan as well as Nashville Predators fan. I enjoy reading books on theology and writing.
