What’s your best memory of Conway?
I think when our kids are all grown up, we’ll treasure our memories of stopping for first-day-of-school coffee at Round Mountain or walking to Gatlin Park to catch minnows in the stream.
What trait do you admire most about Conway?
The ability to quickly plug into your tribe. From Chamber events to working at The Studio Downtown, connecting with like-minded business owners has been really awesome.

Favorite thing about Conway?
We love that Conway is consistently growing but still has that small town feeling.

Attending more local theater & symphony performances.
What do you enjoy most about your area of Conway?
We love living in Smoking Oaks with the tall trees, bunnies, squirrels, and a street full of kids playing outside.
How did you end up in Conway?
Our family was growing, and we knew our time in Los Angeles was coming to a close, but moving back to my (Jessica’s) hometown in Pine Bluff wasn’t really an option. After a lot of prayer and even fasting, we felt like Conway was the place God wanted us to be.
How would you describe Conway to someone who just moved here?
Conway is a growing city with lots of opportunities to pursue your passions. The people are warm, and the schools are safe, so it’s a great place to raise your family, too.
Where do your kids go to school and why is your family proud to be a Wampus Cat, Bulldog, Eagle, or homeschool?
We recently jumped on the Conway Christian train a few years ago and have loved the small classrooms and caring teachers.
Meet The Neighbors is a section of the city’s community magazine, CONWAY+, and is sponsored by Coldwell Banker RPM Group.
