about me
In 2012, I left my small Texas town with a full ride to UT Austin and a hunger to explore. Philosophy opened my mind. Scripture pierced my heart. I didn’t know whether I was meant to be a professor, a preacher, or something else entirely.
I wandered through Seattle for a while, working with students and hiking the foggy cliffs of the Pacific Northwest. I flirted with writing, procrastinated law school, and finally gave in to both.
By 2018, I was at Texas A&M Law. A car crashed into my apartment. A week later, I met the woman I’d marry. Providence, not coincidence.
Since then: judicial clerkships, award-winning law review article, three kids, a PICU stay that broke and rebuilt us, a return home, a Bible open on the pulpit, and a law firm open down the street. Whiteboarding along the way.
Now I help families get their house in order — legally, spiritually, and generationally.
Somewhere between a Baptist preacher and a Texas philosopher.
All for God’s glory.
