My spiritual journey really took off during my professional baseball career when I met a man who was talking about Jesus and communicating the story of the Bible in a way that felt more real and honest than anything I had ever heard before. I grew up with wonderful parents in a good Christian home, but during my time in professional baseball, I developed a friendship with a chaplain named Brian Hommel that changed my life forever.

I went on to play eleven seasons of professional baseball, but during the last few years of my career, I became passionate about helping other players see Jesus and the Bible in fresh new ways.

After retiring from baseball, I immediately began to work for a small ministry called, Unlimited Potential, and began serving as the chaplain for the Atlanta Braves. Those twelve years of ministry were the most formative years of my life and have influenced everything I write about on here.

My personal study and writing interests are primarily focused on the historical and cultural context of the Bible and a belief in Jesus that manifests itself in the way that we actually live out our day-to-day lives in this world.

After years of ministry as a teaching pastor with Unlimited Potential and as the chaplain for the Atlanta Braves, I now serve on the Patron Care Team at BibleProject.

Currently, I reside in Dublin, Georgia with my beautiful wife, Tanner, and our four wonderful and amazing kids. In all of my work, whether as a teacher or as a care team member at BibleProject, I love helping people learn a new way of life and a new way of seeing the world based on the life and teaching of Jesus.
