I was born in Enid, Oklahoma, but grew up all over the world and graduated from McAlester High School. I have a Bachelor's of Music degree from Northwestern Oklahoma State University. I graduated from Phillips Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity, Master of Theological Studies and a Doctor of Ministry. Before I was in ministry, I did a little of everything from singing opera and teaching Junior High and High School Vocal music and Theatre to cooking BBQ competitively! I am now the minister at the First Christian Church of Perry, Oklahoma
