About My Family
I’ve been doing campus ministry at California Baptist University (CBU) since June 2017. I married my high-school sweetheart, Tyler, and we are expecting our first son in August 2024. I graduated from Gateway Seminary with a master’s degree in educational leadership in May 2024.
It brings me such joy to walk through life with students and help them understand that God wants all people to know Him. I teach them how to live biblically and encourage them to pass that on to others, both on campus and in the church.
I believe college students are more reachable, teachable and send-able in this season of life than at any other. The college years are one of the last and perhaps easiest times for people to make major lifetime changes, and I love getting to be in students’ lives to point them to the one true God.

About My Ministry
I am on discipleship staff at CBU. As a ministry, we invite students to know who Jesus is, challenge them to live out their lives as biblical followers of God and encourage them to teach others to do the same. Through various avenues and opportunities, we desire for our ministry to be modeled after Jesus’ ministry on earth, to love all, help many and train a few.
We want to be disciples who make disciples and pass on that same biblical pattern to students. Prayerfully, our students will take what they learn in college and live it out through the rest of their lives. I hope they will believe that God’s heart is for every nation, tribe and tongue to know His Son, Jesus Christ, and to worship Him alone. We long for students to participate in His Great Commission for the rest of their lives wherever God chooses to place them.
