I am the young adults pastor at Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, TX. I work with some of today's best college students, young professionals and newlyweds. But while I am passionate about doing God's ministry, I am still relatively new to life in an office!
I grew up as an athlete, playing every sport possible. I excelled in football in high school, but during my senior year, I broke my leg in our school gym playing basketball. Needless to say, the recruiting from colleges stopped, and I didn't know where to turn next. However, as God's plan always does, it turned out for the best.
After two years in community college, I transferred to Murray State in Kentucky. While I was working out, I was approached about being a cheerleader. I know it sounds funny - trust me, I wasn't on board at first. But my competitive nature got the best of me, and I showed up at the next practice. The first time I stunted, I was hooked.
After cheering for a year, I actually walked on the football team...but after spring training, I discovered the guy who had my position was a senior as well, and he had been playing for the past three years. Unless he got injured, I would be on the bench. I ended up cheering my senior year, and I'm glad I did.
After graduation, I began seminary, where I met my beautiful wife, Michelle. (Also a coach - check out her page at www.turbomichelle.com). Sitting in class and working at the church didn't do much for my crave for physical activity....but as a college student, I didn't have a lot of money for a gym membership.
Michelle introduced me to P90X. It was exactly was I needed - inexpensive, effective & competitive! Not to mention, it could be done...even in my small apartment! I was sold.
I've enjoyed helping Michelle with her business behind the scenes, but I decided I wanted to take the plunge in becoming a coach myself. I hope you'll continue your fitness journey with me. Let's get started!
