I moved to Mobile in 1995, a medical social worker filled with dreams to save the world. Paying my dues, securing limited resources for people in need, even managing a social work department.

When the hospital I worked for sold, I took the skills learned and entered the world of health plan management. Working in the corporate world was a shock, and I rapidly found myself enthralled with corporate decisions as opposed to ones that directly impacted people.
In 2013, I woke up to God telling me “Quit your job, it is causing you to be someone I didn’t intend for you to be”. I dismissed it as a dream but throughout the day and week, the seed was planted in my head. I’ve always had discussions with God (even as a child), but this was different.
I reminded God that I worked hard in college, eventually earning a graduate degree. I surpassed expectations and was proud of my accomplishments. He told me again, “Quit your job, it is causing you to be someone I did not design you to be”. I reluctantly reached a compromise to discuss it with my wife who certainly wouldn’t agree to such a drastic idea.
When I talked to my wife and told her that I believe God was asking me to quit my job, she said “OK. I trust you and I believe in you”. I was convinced that she didn’t hear me clearly, so I told her again adding that unfortunately God didn’t give me any direction for after I quit my job. She said, “I trust you and believe in you and more importantly, I believe in Him”.
I went back to God for clarification, and he said again, “Quit your job, it is causing you to become someone I did not design you to be”. Then He added, “I can help the process move forward if you would like”.
I immediately told the regional president of the company that I was turning in my notice, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do but God had made it crystal clear that it wasn’t to work at this company. Two months later I opened Community Insurance Partners with a mission to make a positive difference in the lives of Medicare beneficiaries, agents, and health care providers in our community.
Sometimes people ask me if it was a success, I simply say that success was being willing to give up on my direction and follow His.
