I grew up in a strong moral family with a hard work ethic. Although they were very spiritual, I didn’t know the Gospel. After a tragic event in my life just after high school, I met with a pastor who shared Christ with me. That was August 17th, 1990. That night I gave my life to Christ. At Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, I graduated with a B.A. in Pastoral Ministries in 1996. Later I went to The Masters Seminary in Los Angeles, California and received a M.Div. in 2003. After seminary I did church planting in downtown Los Angeles for 2 years and then moved to New Jersey to serve as an associate pastor for 9 years. I came to Wellington Colorado in January of 2014 and have been blessed to be part of the Lord's work here. In 1998 I married my wife, Corinne whom I met at Moody. We have six children, three living at home in addition three out of the house: one in college, another working on the road, and our oldest, who is married.
