Courtney and I have been married for over 25 years now, and we raised our family in Starkville, Mississippi. I spend most of my days farming and working in crop insurance, and together, we built a really full, traditional life rooted deeply in our local community, our school, and our church.

We have four incredible children. Our oldest is Caralyne, followed by Walker, our eldest son. After Walker, we have his younger brother, Bennett, and his younger sister, Sarah.

As parents, we always tried to do everything right. We were a close-knit, active family, and we thought we understood the landscape our kids were navigating. But after losing Walker, our perspective shifted completely. We realized that our deep roots and our values weren’t just a foundation for our home—they were a calling.

Today, our faith is what leads us to protect the hearts and minds of children in this hyper-connected world. We know firsthand how fast digital spaces can turn predatory, and we’re sharing our family’s story so other parents can see the warning signs before it’s too late.”
