About Me

At 17, my life was transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, igniting a passion for ministry that has guided me for the past 10 years. I have devoted my life to serving the Church in diverse ministry settings, where I have relied on God’s Spirit to effectively preach, teach, and provide pastoral leadership. By God’s grace, I have had the privilege to equip the Church and engage local communities resulting in fruitful ministry. My wife, Veronica, and I are blessed with three children—Presley (6), Knox (4), and Banx (2)—and together, we are committed to serving Christ and His people.
