About My Family
I am a devoted husband, father, pastor, and leader with a deep passion for gospel transformation and church planting. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and am now rooted in Jacksonville, Florida. I have spent more than a decade faithfully preaching and teaching the Word of God, discipling believers, and raising up leaders to impact their city.
I have been married to Chardel since 1997. I am the proud father of four—Elijah (Topaz), Joshua, Journey, and Daniel. My life mission is simple: love God, love family, love people, make disciples, and plant churches. Live the gospel every hour.

About My Church Plant
In 2026, I will be launching Ekklesia Jax—a new church plant on the southside of Jacksonville with a mission to live out the gospel daily (“EKK 24/7”). Ekklesia Jax is built on prayer, disciple-making, and a deep commitment to reaching people far from God while equipping believers to live sent in every sphere of life. I serve as the founding and lead pastor, providing vision, biblical teaching, and pastoral leadership to a growing core team.
NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
