I was born and raised in Southern California. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from the University of California at Riverside, I was brought on staff at Harvest Christian Fellowship, which is also in Riverside. I worked there in various roles for 11yrs, 7 of which I served as a Pastor. It was here I met my lovely wife Ericka, with whom I've been blessed with three amazing boys, Judah, Jase, and Silas. I love sports, the outdoors, coffee, and reading. I have a certificate in biblical and theological studies from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, and am nearing completion of an M.A program there. In 2017, God called me and my family to help replant a church in northern Santa Barbara which would ultimately give rise to Apostles Church. We are so blessed to serve this church and the community of Santa Barbara and we eagerly look forward to all God will do in and through our church.
