Beneficiary of much grace. I have a wonderful, beautiful and talented wife and two fantastic children of whom I am very proud. I practiced law in my own law firm for 23 years prior to becoming the executive director of The Baptist Children's Village (the Village) on November 1, 2016. The Village is near and dear to me and my family because I grew up here. I hold the record for living at the Village longer than in child in its 127 years of serving children and families. I came to the Village when I was five years old and left 18 years later after I graduated from college.
