About Me

I grew up mostly in sunny Southern California. When i was four my parents separated. This is what brought us to SoCal. We moved from Houston Texas to Capistrano Beach California. It was in Capo that we moved into my Nana's house. Nana went to church and because her southern hospitality covered up her ruling with an iron first, this meant we went to church too. We attended church 3-5 times a week. It was during this time I attended VBS, youth group, sang in the choir and participated in the church plays. High School was a different story.

​

I was rebellious! I started hanging out with the wrong crown of people. I began drinking, being sexually active and smoking pot. Every weekend was a prideful quest for self-indulgence. The truth I was raised with did not seem to have any impact on my life... or so I thought. 

​

A good friend of mine was partying with me through this time. He and I developed and innocent friendship on the corner outside of our middle school in 6th grade. My family moved into another school's zoning and were separated. Fast forward a few years and we had reconnected. We hung out all the time. We were in a band together, worked together and partied together. It was only fitting that we both felt led to leave that destructive lifestyle behind. We found our way back to God. 

​

Shortly after God leading me and Steve back to Him I married my best friend. Nicole and I have got hitched on Apr. 3 2008. Together we have four awesome kids and four years ago our nephew started living with us. Kyana 16, Madison 13, Derrick 13, Jessica 10 and Liam 8. Being raised in a broken home always drove my desire to have a big family. They keep me honest and keep me going. They encourage me to be the man they deserve and not the one I am today, but rather the one I want to be tomorrow. They followed me as I followed God to Alaska. 

​

It was smack dad at the height of Covid that I was launched into what has now become my life. Only God would begin a journey into the unknown with so much dynamic involved. We were asked to start our fund raising while churches were shutting down due to Covid. We initially got 3 people to come on board our support team before we moved. God is continually bringing people like yourself on our team.  The first year I was riddles with fear and anxiety. I kept telling myself all the reasons i was wrong for the job or who would be better. Thankfully that is gone. I am a missionary and a youth pastor. I am honored to be an instrument in Kingdom Building. 

​

Would ask God if he wants you to take a leap of faith an join our support team?

Blessings!
