He graduated from Cleveland High School in Tennessee where he was an athlete. He received degrees from Johnson County Community College and Tomlinson College.

He was a minister and he loved Jesus wholeheartedly. He spent much of his life serving the Lord and the communities of the Church of God of Prophecy and the Assemblies of God, and he was instrumental in bringing many Christians together across denominational lines to unite in Christ and prayer. He invested in the next generation by directing youth camps and coordinating mission trips locally and internationally. Along with his ministry work, he was a mentor, a visionary, and a big fan of Rock music. He was someone a stranger would often share their life story with. He loved to take road trips, especially to the Tennessee mountains, but most of all, he loved being with his children and was devoted to being a great dad. He will be deeply missed.
