Reed is an assistant pastor at New Life Baptist Church, where he is involved in church administration, mentorship and discipleship. Throughout his ministry, he has preached frequently at dozens of churches and ministries across the Midwest. He continues to speak on occasion while fulfilling his responsibilities as an assistant pastor.

Before being elected to the Indiana House of Representatives, Reed spent more than a decade serving in administrative and leadership roles at Indiana Baptist College in Greenwood, including eight years as dean of students.

Drawing on his background in higher education, Reed supports strengthening fundamental classroom instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic and ensuring parents have the freedom to choose educational opportunities that best fit their children's needs. He also supports reducing the tax burden on hardworking Hoosiers, maintaining fiscal responsibility and giving law enforcement the resources needed to keep communities safe.

Reed has called Greenwood home for more than 15 years. He and his wife, Lauren, have lived in Greenwood together since their marriage a decade ago, and are raising their six children in the community. Their extended family has deep roots in the community, with involvement in agriculture, law enforcement, ministry and local government.
