Life Verse: But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.     Acts 20:24

I was born in Mesa, Arizona and raised by devoted parents in Orange County, California. While in my twenties, God brought me to the heart-breaking realization everyone must come to – that I was a hopeless sinner who deserved God’s wrath. But God is a God of great mercy who did not leave me in this state. Rather, He extended forgiveness and the hope of heaven through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. I repented of my sins, embraced the free gift of God, and resolved to live for His pleasure.

Feeling burdened to serve the Lord in full-time ministry, I attended The Master’s College and Seminary in Southern California.  Upon graduation, God confirmed His ministry call when Faith Bible Church asked me to join its leadership group as associate pastor.

I am married to my best friend Michelle and together we are raising little bundles of joy whom we pray will follow God all the days of their lives. Joey was born in December 2007, Tessie was born in March 2009, and Rosie was born on August 12, 2010.
