Born and raised in Indianapolis, Michael was converted his freshman year at Indiana University. Campus ministry leaders and fellow students discipled Michael, and he eventually connected with a local Baptist fellowship where his love for the local church grew. Needing to be better equipped for ministry, he moved to Louisville, KY to attend The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He graduated in 2017 (M.A. in Theological Studies).
Michael works in residential construction, building custom homes on Kiawah. As a lay elder (non-staff pastor), Michael loves to serve this body through his faithful shepherding and teaching.
He is married to Amanda and they have three children.
