First Baptist Church of Smithville,Texas

I grew up in Hudson,Texas right outside of Lufkin. I came to know Christ at the age of eleven through a bus ministry of Cross Roads Baptist Church. I started preaching at the age of eighteen and began pastoring at twenty years old as a sophmore at East Texas Baptist University.

Tami and I were married in October of 1986. We are blessed with three grown children- Megan, Morgan, & Micah. We enjoy spending time with our family, our grandchildren & junking.

We came to First Baptist Church in Smithville in August 2004. We had previously served at Parkview Baptist Church in Lufkin for over ten years.
