About My Family

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and went to school in the Pasadena Independent School District. I graduated from the University of Houston Clear Lake and double majored in business management and marketing. I also graduated from Liberty University with an M.Div. in Christian Leadership and Discipleship.

I’m a lover of the Astros, golf, books, coffee, movies and scenic places. I married the love of my life (Marianne) in October of 2022, and we have a son, Silas, who was born in May of 2024. We currently live in Deer Park, Texas, and look forward continuing our ministry in Pasadena/Deer Park and the surrounding area.

About My Church Plant

In 2020, I became the kids and student minister of Golden Acres Baptist Church located in Pasadena, Texas. I then became the interim pastor and helped to lead the church to merge with New Day Church in 2022. New Day Church Oak Forest was a dying congregation that was replanted in Houston and is now a thriving/healthy church. With a heart to see dying churches come to life, the merge with them birthed New Day Church Pasadena and the work of replanting began. I was called to stay and was ordained as the lead pastor of New Day Church Pasadena.

As I shepherd and lead our congregation to make disciples, it is my striving to see our church be built up on the Word of God and sent out to plant/replant other churches. I long and pray to see the gospel advanced, to see revival spring forth and to see my Savior face-to-face one day.

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.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I speak. Pray that through this ministry, more people would come to saving faith and live on mission. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
