In 2013 I became the music minister at Liberty Baptist Church. I am also a music teacher in the Buncombe County School system. I graduated from Baylor University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Music Education degree. In addition to spending time with my beautiful wife, Hayley, I enjoy bike riding, hiking, traveling, and playing the trombone. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in plugging in with our music ministry!

I began serving in children's ministry in 2010. When the Lord called my husband, Nathan, and I to Liberty in 2018, I again found a place to serve in youth ministry. It is my joy and privilege to serve alongside my husband sharing the gospel and the love of Jesus with our young people. We have been the official youth leaders since 2024, and look forward to seeing more lives changed for Jesus Christ. Nathan and I have been married for 19 years, and we have two beautiful children, Lily and Liam.
