Vestry, 2022-2025
I was born and raised in Raleigh, NC, and was a member of Christ Episcopal Church. After finishing school, I moved to Charleston in 2005, engaged to my now wife Katherine, and took a job in real estate development. We would marry in the fall of that year and quickly found a home at St. Michaels in the 6:00 service, which as we both admit, unequivocally brought us back to church. In our effort to fully reengage, we became deeply involved with ALPHA, which led us into a cherished Life Group, and eventually into leadership roles in The Gate and Financial Peace.
Katherine and I have now been married almost seventeen years and have three children, Mac (11), Gray (9) and Eve (5). We enjoy spending as much time as we can on the water and traveling together as a family.
After a short career in real estate, I began working for Marsh in 2008, in the commercial insurance industry, where I remain employed today.
