Jamey feels called by God to minister to people first and then minister through music, by the Biblical mandate to praise God through Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. Jamey considers it both an honor and privilege to serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the ministry of First Baptist Church.

Jamey enjoys golf, sports, and playing and collecting guitars.
