I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico in home with parents and siblings who were followers of Christ and active in the local church. While I grew up learning about the Bible and who Jesus was, it wasn’t until middle-school through the youth ministry at our church that I began to see my sin and need for a savior. Sin had made me guilty and separated me from God, but Jesus Christ came into this world and lived the perfect life I couldn’t, died the death I deserved, and rose again to offer new life which I now get to walk in. Throughout high-school, college, and now as an adult, God has continually been at work to mature my faith and fall deeper in love with him.

My plan was not to go into vocational ministry as a business major and administrative assistant during my time at Dallas Baptist University. Fortunately, during that time I was given the opportunity to become a member and serve in my local church, as well as, organize different short-term mission trips with other college students. These experiences enlarged my heart for the church. When I graduated I attended the Kanakuk Institute in Branson, MO. From there I was brought on to oversee missions and multiplication at Hillside Fellowship Church for nearly three years before they sent me out in the Winter of 2022 to serve with a new ministry we had begun partnering with, Landmark Church. During this time I have continued my post-grad studies at Western Seminary. My wife Merci and I have been married for four years, and as of late 2022 are parents to our precious daughter Elaine. I love Landmark Church and am so excited about how Jesus Christ is moving and changing lives in San Marcos!
