Born and raise in the small town of Wauchula, FL, I spent most of my 20's in the Boston, MA area before moving to Charlotte, NC. I have a Master of Arts in Theological Studies, and I serve as the Youth and Spiritual Formation Pastor at Pritchard Church in Charlotte. Myers-Briggs type INFP and Enneagram 4, so I enjoy introspection and all things moody!

What to expect, in John’s words

I see my role as someone who walks with you during this season of your spiritual journey. I am convinced that everything is spiritual, and God is already showing up amidst the life you are already living. I will listen, ask questions, and allow room for silence and reflection, and come alongside you as you discern how Jesus is already at work in your life and is inviting you to follow him and continue to become who you were created to be.

Outside of sessions

When I'm not doing ministry, I love going to the Blue Ridge Mountains to hike, spend time in nature, and enjoy the slower pace of life that's missing in the city. I also enjoy reading, making the perfect cup of AeroPress coffee, gathering with friends, and playing guitar and attempting to write.
