Born in Fairhope, Alabama. Graduate of Foley High School (1994), B.A. from the University of Alabama (1997) , J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law (2001), and M.Div from Regent University (2015). I am a member of the FBI Citizen’s Academy Alumni Association.

I was the State Director for KlaasKIDS Search Center for Missing & Trafficked Children wherein I assisted in the identification of victims of sexual exploitation on the streets and online as well as assisted in their rescue, transport or extraction. I speak across Alabama about human trafficking. I have trained law enforcement, nurses, social workers and civilians in the identification of human trafficking, victim response and community response. I was part of the founding team for Polly’s Center in Pensacola, FL, a place to assist victims and families of the missing and trafficked. I was the program director and legal counsel for The Wellhouse from January 2013 through July 2013. I also assisted them in numerous direct rescues, transports and extractions of victims of sex trafficking. I lived in the safe house with the women for a period of time wherein I gained a greater appreciation for the struggles they endure. I was a part of the Super Bowl outreach team, Blitz the Trafficker, from 2009-2013. The nationwide team provided assistance to the host city’s human trafficking task force by providing online monitoring as well as street outreach and response. Summer 2016 they took the outreach to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
