I'm a native of Springfield, MO, and I received my military commission from Missouri State University in 2010. Following graduation, I spent nearly 8 years on active duty in the US Army and deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. It was during this time that I first encountered counseling, and it saved my marriage and changed my life. After leaving military service, I spent several years as a project manager in Corporate America. At night, I attended graduate school and graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2021. I have recently been afforded the opportunity to pursue my passion of counseling full-time, and I look forward to helping those in need.
