There’s more to me than what I build.

I like turning “what if?” into something real.

Creativity, to me, is the process of taking an abstract idea and finding a way to bring it into the real world. I enjoy building the foundation first and then refining the details until the result feels intentional, useful, and visually complete.

That mindset shows up in a lot of places in my life. I enjoy imagining stories and games, designing websites, experimenting with visual ideas, getting creative in the kitchen, and looking for approaches that might not be the most obvious solution.

Learning to trust beyond my own strength.

I first came to faith in Jesus as a child. Growing up in the church, I came to know God as my Savior, healer, provider, and the foundation of my faith. At six years old, I was baptized alongside my mom, which remains a special memory for me.

As I grew into adulthood, however, I found myself increasingly relying on my own strength. I tried to control what I could, carried fears on my own, and began placing limits on what I trusted God to handle. Over time, that left me feeling spiritually lost and searching for hope in places that could not truly provide it.

Returning more intentionally to my faith has meant learning to surrender fear, anxiety, perfectionism, and the need for control. I am learning to trust God with every part of my life rather than only the parts I feel comfortable releasing.

Choosing baptism again as an adult became a public declaration of my faith and my desire to continue growing closer to Christ. My faith shapes the values I try to carry into the rest of my life: kindness, compassion, humility, perseverance, generosity, and the way I treat the people around me.

Faith grows differently when it is lived in community.

My connection with Buckhead Church began through my partner, who attended there as a child and later returned as an adult. We first began watching services online together before eventually attending in person.

Since then, I have been trying to become more involved rather than simply attending services. That has included participating in Bible study and small groups, meeting other people in the church community, and creating more intentional space for faith in everyday life.

Buckhead Church also became the place where I chose to be baptized again as an adult, making it an important part of this chapter of my walk with Christ.

Curiosity doesn’t stop when the laptop closes.

I’m naturally a more reserved and private person, but the people, experiences, and interests outside of work are an important part of what keeps me grounded.

What I build matters. How I live matters more.

I try to let my values show through how I treat people, how I approach commitments, and how I respond when things do not go according to plan.

I’m building more than a career. I’m building a life.

I have goals that stretch across different parts of who I am. Some are professional, some deeply personal, and some I expect will continue evolving as I do.

Faith should reach beyond what I believe.

One of the ways I try to put my values into practice is through generosity. Through my connection with Buckhead Church, I have personally contributed to giving initiatives and organizations connected with the church and its broader community.

For me, giving is not about recognition. It is about remembering that what we have can become meaningful when it is used to serve somebody beyond ourselves.
