In my role as the Executive Director of the Tennessee Governor's Faith-Based and Community Initiative, appointed by Governor Lee in 2023, I am honored to be part of transformative social change in Tennessee. Working with compassion and innovation, I help build partnerships among faith communities, nonprofits, and state government to address the state's most pressing issues, aiming to support thousands of vulnerable Tennesseans.My career has spanned various sectors, from tech startups to roles in nonprofits like RestoreNYC, Q Ideas, and I Am Second. I have been fortunate to contribute to meaningful projects that address human needs and potential. My entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to social justice have been key drivers in these efforts.Outside the office, I am passionate about life's adventures and the lessons they offer. As an avid outdoorsman, my fly fishing trips through the Rockies and Alaska provide opportunities to forge deeper connections over conversations about faith, fatherhood, and family.I hold a degree in Leadership from Palm Beach Atlantic University and cherish life in Franklin, TN, with my wife, Hannah, and our three children. I believe that true leadership is measured not just by the positions one holds but by the positive impact on the lives and communities we serve.
