About me
I have served as the Communications Coordinator for The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama since September 2016. Prior to that I provided simple graphic design, videography, photography, website, and social media management both as part of my employment and as part of my ministry in several parishes.
I have a BA from the University of South Alabama, and a JD from The University of Alabama School Law. For ten years I was a practicing trial attorney and taught as an adjunct at The University of Alabama School of Law. In 2021, I completed the David G. Buttrick Certificate Program in Homiletic Peer Coaching at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
I was ordained a vocational deacon in October 2011, and served parishes in Fayette, Tuscaloosa, Fairfield, and Birmingham. I was ordained a priest in November 2020, and serve as supply clergy for parishes in the Diocese of Alabama.
In addition to serving as the Communications Coordinator, I am also the Coordinator for the Alabama Integrative Ministry School. In this capacity, I serve as the liaison with the Alternative Clergy Training at Sewanee, supervise the field placement program, serve as a mentor, and develop local formation programs and retreats.

Publications
- The Alabama Episcopalian
The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama
I serve as the supervising editor, which includes editing submissions and working with the art director. I also contribute articles and photography. In 2017-2018, I supervised the redesign of this publication, moving it from a bimonthly newspaper format to a quarterly magazine. This required a shift in content, moving towards long-form theologically reflective articles and a redesign of layout. I worked with Miles Parsons, the publication’s art director, to develop the new layout.- April/May/June 2019 https://bit.ly/2W0m1DM
