About

I am a Design Engineer at AVI-SPL, a digital enablement solutions provider that designs, integrates, manages, and supports on-site and cloud-based communications and collaboration technologies for organizations around the globe. That means I design anything that is audio visual: projectors, large flat panel displays, video walls, sound systems, control systems, cameras, lighting and any other techy-sounding thing.

I am also the deacon of technology at Christ Family Church in Dahlonega, GA. All in house technology (audio, video, lighting, etc.) is under my care, as well as the sermon archive.

I attended NGCSU/UNG (and worked there 2010-2022) for my undergraduate work in Music Performance. I’m a graduate of SEBTS in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where I obtained a Master of Divinity with Biblical Counseling. I’m married to my awesome wife (Heather) and have an awesome family (Jackson, Hannah, Levi, Emmeline, and Malakhi)!
