Joseph is a native Texan. Raised in a faithful family, he accepted Christ as a young boy. In college, he began to discern a soul-deep calling to minister to the minds and hearts of God’s people. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications from Baylor University and a Master of Divinity from Logsdon Seminary at Hardin-Simmons University. He has served for over a decade in churches in the communities of Waco, Midland, and Rochester, Texas.

Pastor Joseph came to Italy in 2012 with a passion to see growth that goes far deeper than numbers can tell. He desires to see Central Baptist lead change for God’s kingdom in the immediate community first, ultimately impacting the world for Christ.

Pastor Joseph was married to Natalie on June 2, 2007. She is his greatest friend and earthly inspiration. They have one daughter, Tessa. In his spare time, you will find Joseph hunting, fishing, or playing guitar.
