I was born and raised in West Frankfort and have lived here all my life. I graduated from FCHS in 1984. I attended Southwest Baptist University and John A. Logan College. I married my wife, Rachele Hammond, in 1994. We have 5 children, Brittany, Mariah, Dillion, Landen, and Hayden.
I consider it a great honor and passion to serve the students of our city and to help them realize just how much Jesus loves them and has a purpose for their lives.
