Meet Carson smith

Executive Director of Watermark CDC

I grew up in a fantastic family including a faithful mom and dad and two siblings. I dreamt of running track and field in college and attended Texas A&M University. After deciding to trust Jesus as my Savior at 12 years old, I seriously started following Him while at Texas A&M. I realized I looked for acceptance and approval in all the wrong places – sports, achievement, volunteering, relationships, and reputation. My life was changed by God’s word (initially by studying the book of Galatians!), His people, and prayer, and I found full freedom and life in Christ.

Since graduating college, God has continued to show me how the Gospel and disciple making can happen through the business marketplace. I have a deep passion and desire to transform the economic welfare of our community through the Watermark Community Development Corporation. Aside from following Jesus, my greatest privilege and honor is being married to Kelsey. We have three sons, Cade, Wyatt, and Rhett.
