I did not grow up going to church, but began going to church because a girl I liked in high school invited me. It was here that I began hearing of the gospel, understanding that the Christian ought to have a changed life, and began realizing I was a sinner before a holy God. In 10th grade I was confronted with my sinfulness and the reality of death and the Lord used those circumstances to convict me of my sins and to save me. It has not always been easy, but it has always been worth it.

Lexi and I grew up around Atlanta and moved to Statesboro to attend Georgia Southern University. We got married in October of 2019 and welcomed our first born Michael Jr. (MJ) in March of 2024.
