God has opened up the door for me to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I began attending Mt. Vernon at the age of 5. When my mother changed churches I had to move on but I have always loved Rev. James Netters' preaching and I returned to Mt. Vernon when I was 18.

I was born in LeMoyne Gardens and grew up in South Memphis where I attended Florida, Walker and Ford elementary schools, and Carver and Mitchell high schools. As a child my Big Mama always made me stay in the house; I could not play like the other kids. I had to go in for Bible study in my little red chair.

God called me to preach when I was 21 years old but I ran off into the world for all the wrong reasons. I learned so much from Rev. Netters and he was always there for me. I attended Crichton College in the early '90s and was licensed and ordained by Rev. Netters at Mt. Vernon in 1998.
