With over 18 years of experience as Lead Pastor/CEO of the Mayfield Memorial Missionary Baptist Church, Inc, I am deeply committed to community development and engagement. My core competencies lie in strategic leadership, fostering collaboration across diverse groups, and managing substantial projects with a focus on affordable housing. At my current organization, I uphold our mission to serve the community with integrity and passion, bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to enhance our collective impact. As Lead Pastor/CEO, I've managed a vibrant congregation, successfully securing grants and implementing growth strategies that have bolstered financial stability and community outreach. In my role as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Mayfield Memorial CDC, I've had the privilege of overseeing the allocation of $2 million in federal funds towards transformative community projects. My hands-on leadership in the construction of an $18 million apartment complex exemplifies my dedication to creating affordable housing solutions. My leadership has been instrumental in assembling a Board of diverse and gifted people.
