The Story

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

I am blessed to come from a line of strong men of faith. I seek to carry on that tradition by living a life on mission. My mission? A passionate pursuit of purpose. My businesses are an avenue for ministry, relationally and financially. The opportunities I am stewarding are for the good of others and the glory of God.

The greatest decision outside of my relationship with Jesus Christ was marrying my high school sweetheart, Hannah. We have four amazing boys: Walker, Noah, Abel, and Warren, and a Goldendoodle named Fallon. You will most likely find us camping, building a fort, fishing, or playing a board game together as a family.

A Life That Reoriented Everything

In 2019, my second son, Noah Clifton Efird, was diagnosed in utero with Trisomy 13. We chose to carry him to term. Noah lived for 57.5 hours. His life helped reorient the calling on my life to help others find their purpose.

I am passionate about seeing others create value in their life and for their family and community. Noah’s story became the foundation of the Even Though, We Will Foundation and my first book.

I wish every pastor, every NICU nurse, and every grieving parent had a copy of this book within arm’s reach.
