Who Am I?

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

It is with the greatest honor that I am able to share a little bit about who I am and what this campaign means to me. Many of you have witnessed my growth and development within the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church which has been an invaluable experience, that has enabled me to share with my own children, Madison and Antuan as well as those who I am fortunate enough to mentor and guide both within and outside of the church. This is why this campaign is so important to me, not for myself, but it will allow me the opportunity to help the men in our local congregations become who God has called them to be. We can foster a culture where Men can learn from each other to better themselves, their families and ultimately their communities. This work is not about us, but the future!

Qualifications:

I have served in various leadership roles within our church, at all levels where I have demonstrated my ability to lead with vision and compassion. I currently serve as the Trustee Chair, Youth Director and Men’s Ministry Coordinator for my local church, Taylor Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church; A member of the Southeast Alabama Region Trustee Board and I serve as the 5th Episcopal District Trustee Vice President on the Connectional Lay Council. I also serve as the program administrator for the Ministry to Men’s Brotherhood Mentoring Project.

My educational and professional background has equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively guide our ministry. I hold a master’s degree from Arizona State University and currently employed as the Controller for VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering. 

I am a member of several fraternal and civic organizations, where I have held leadership positions, successfully organized and led numerous events and initiatives that have strengthened my local community, all while deepening my faith.

Unique Contributions:

I bring a diverse perspective to our ministry, valuing the unique backgrounds and experiences of each member. I believe that our differences make us stronger and more capable of serving God's kingdom. I am dedicated to fostering strong, meaningful relationships within our ministry. By creating opportunities for fellowship, discipleship, mentorship and connection, we can support one another in our spiritual journeys and grow together as a ministry.

Core Values:

My unwavering faith in God guides every aspect of my life and leadership. I am committed to helping each member of our ministry deepen their relationship with Christ. I believe in leading with honesty, transparency, and accountability. Trust is the foundation of any strong community, and I am dedicated to earning and maintaining your trust. Together, we can create a space where every man feels valued, supported, and encouraged. Serving others is a core tenet of my faith. I am committed to leading our ministry in impactful service projects that demonstrate Christ's love to our local community. While embracing new ideas and approaches, I also value the rich traditions that have shaped our ministry. I aim to honor our past while guiding us towards a bright future.

I am excited about the opportunity to serve as your next General Secretary of Ministry to Men and to work alongside each of you to achieve our shared goals. Together, we can build a vibrant Men's Ministry that glorifies God and makes a lasting impact.
