Meet Our Pastor

I grew up in Augusta County, VA. I accepted Christ as my personal Savior as a child in Summer Camp when I was 8 years old and was later baptized at the age of 25. I graduated from Wilson Memorial High School, and have worked as a brick and stone mason as well as have had a career in law enforcement with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office and the Waynesboro Police Department.

Before being ordained 2015, I served as a youth and adult Sunday School teacher, Church Deacon, and led other various church activities.

After being ordained, I have had the great privilege to serve in multiple church plants and church revitalizations. In 2023, the Lord opened the doors and led my family here to First Baptist Church Elkton. What a blessing!

I met my wife, Elizabeth, at church when we were 17 years old. We were married on June 23, 2001. Elizabeth heads up the Ladies Ministries and Music here at First Baptist Church Elkton, and she actively counsels, helps and coordinates in any and every way possible. Elizabeth also works full-time at Merck as a Global Learning and Development Consultant.

Elizabeth and I have two sons, Andrew and Aaron. And now recently a daughter-in-law as Andrew and Allison were married in April 2025. They all have taught us so much through the years!

One of my passions is hunting and I love to spend time in the woods when time allows.

We love the Lord and the people at First Baptist Church Elkton, and we are dedicated to serve as the Lord has called us to do. We look forward to what God has for the future growth at First Baptist Church Elkton and would count it a great blessing if you kept our family at home and at church in your prayers!
