Hi! I am an Ordained Minister and Professional Musician. I am interested in all things Star Wars, politics, South American Red Wine, fitness, religion/theology, and (good) Country Music.
Today I was able to share my concerns about this Big “Beautiful” Bill with Senator Blackburn’s staff.
This legislation would negatively affect the 1.4 million Tennesseans that depend on Medicaid and the 700k Tennesseans that depend on SNAP

Legislative session ended yesterday. In many ways it was nastier than it’s ever been, and yet I saw the community show up in ways I hadn’t before. In many ways I wonder how humanity can be so hateful, and yet I see God in the faces of those showing up to fight for justice.

Happy to share I’ve been accepted into the PhD in Public Administration and Policy program at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA! Here are some photos from my recent campus visit.

Wrote an op-ed in the Tennessean about how simple it should be to protect the rights of trans folks…

I'm a minister in Tennessee. We must protect trans rights. | Opinion
I am going to insist that you protect the rights of transgender and non-binary people for a much simpler reason: they are Tennesseans.

She is an opportunist. She sees an opportunity to create fake panic and gain favor with her party.
“[Trump] should be held ‘accountable’ for his actions. However, [Mace] ultimately voted against impeaching him, and in 2024, endorsed him in the Republican presidential primary.”
Disgusting.

On today, Trans Day of Remembrance, I feel the need to publicly say that trans people are beloved, they belong, and they matter. Their lives matter. Their rights matter. This is non-negotiable.
