About My Family
I surrendered my life to Christ in 2012 while I was struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism. Jesus delivered me from 28 years of hopelessness into His glorious kingdom, and I have not looked back.
I was blessed that in 2014, my three children were baptized. In that same year, I felt the Holy Spirit calling me into ministry.
After completing my bachelor's degree in 2016, I graduated from Gateway Seminary with my M.Div. in 2020.
My wife, Laura, and I answered the call to serve the Lord in the state of Iowa. We left the cities of Southern California and came to a town of 2,000 people, where the Lord is blessing us and continuing to grow us in Him.

About My Ministry
In 2017, I began a Celebrate Recovery ministry at Hope in the Valley Baptist Church in Hemet, Calif., where I also served as the associate pastor of Care Ministries. The Lord caused growth there, and we were able to see lives changed dramatically over the next three years.
In 2020, we felt a distinct call to prison ministry and were led to Iowa where I serve as the chaplain of two institutions: Fort Dodge Correctional and North Central Correctional. I am able to share the gospel of our Lord and Savior to nearly 2,000 inmates and staff.
I am in the process of also starting Celebrate Recovery ministries at my home church of Rolling Hills Community Church in Fort Dodge and a church in my hometown of Sac City, Iowa.
