I am the pastor of a small church in south central Tennessee. I’m a husband to my lovely wife of over 35 years, a dad to my two wonderful children and their spouses, and I’m lovingly known as Pappy to my six grandchildren. I’m an amateur craftsman and artist who loves God’s creation. I love people of all walks of life and the beauty of our surrounding nature.I am a software design and development professional. I am a Microsoft Certified Professional as a Technology Specialist in .NET application solutions development and SQL Server databases, a Certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt in business process improvement, and the SME for several business applications. I have a deep desire to see others succeed and to personally help them achieve their goals in the most productive and efficient way feasible. I’m not afraid to ask qualifying questions or to make bold suggestions to cause my team to think in new and innovative ways which will deliver optimal results. I believe in being honest, treating fairly, and advancing reasonably with careful and respectful consideration of the impact on all involved.
