I (Chad) was born in the beautiful coastal city of Jacksonville, Florida. I was raised in church and trusted Christ as my Savior at the age of 5 at Harvest Baptist Church in Jacksonville. When I was 12, I surrendered to the call of God on my life to preach the Gospel at Ft. Bluff Camp in Dayton, Tennessee. I became the Youth Pastor at Harvest Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida in January of 2005. Georgia was born in the South Georgia town of Jesup. She trusted Christ as her Savior at the age of 5 in her home.

While Youth Pastor at Harvest Baptist Church, I brought the teens to summer camp at Camp Okefenokee in Waycross, Georgia. This is where I met Georgia, the love of my life, in the summer of 2007. We were married on June 6, 2008 (06/07/08 so I could remember haha!) in Jacksonville, FL. We have 5 wonderful children here on earth: Reagan, Jackson, Jefferson, Madison, and John Quincy; we have 3 precious children in heaven: Taylor (miscarriage at 12 weeks), McKinley (born November 3, 2015, at 1:34am and slipped into heaven at 3:10am.), and Pierce (miscarriage at 8 weeks).

We worked on staff at Harvest Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL until September 2009 when the Lord moved us to come on staff at South Valley Baptist Church. We have been working with the Teen Impact! Youth Group since October of 2009.
