His mother had a love for the county, which Sam shares. She built a home on what was originally a dirt road where Sam grew up loving the outdoors from which many of his devotionals have their origin. After becoming a Christian in 1994, God implanted within him a strong desire to share his faith and lead others in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. God called him to Fruitland Bible Institute in Hendersonville, North Carolina, where he graduated in 2000 and was licensed to preach.view less
