About
I was born and raised at the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Pascagoula, wherein I attended public college. My sister, Mary Etta, and I had been raised via great parents and grandparents and a supportive local community. After getting my BA at Mississippi College, I attended Divinity School at Wake Forest University. I served as a children’s minister for numerous churches and labored as a summer chaplain at an orphanage. After seeing the demanding situations these children confronted, I decided I desired to be a attorney so I could stand up for kids and families going through tough felony conditions. Because of these reports, I went to regulation college at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. My first criminal activity was a child endorse for CASA, an agency that advocates for abused and overlooked children. While I have helped hundreds of people outside and inside of the court, I am maximum pleased with the paintings I even have carried out on behalf of residents of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, who misplaced their houses in the course of Hurricane Katrina, and the fishermen who lost their livelihood inside the aftermath of the BP Oil Spill. Faith has always performed an essential element in my existence. Today, I experience coaching a weekly men’s Bible take a look at and preaching whenever the possibility arises. My spouse Laurie is a dietitian and we've got incredible children—Ellen and Gray. I turned into raised on Southern Miss football so my circle of relatives and I attempt to make as many Golden Eagle football video games as we can. I’m also an avid Denver Broncos fan. Serving my network is critical to me individually, simply as it's miles to our regulation workplace. The human beings of Jackson County elected me to workplace and I proudly served in the Mississippi House of Representatives from 2008-2012. Currently, I am a board member for the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence and continue to work with applicants and campaigns as Executive Director of the Mississippi Democratic Trust. › ›
