His passion is to connect people to Jesus Christ to give them hope during discouraging circumstances.  He also wants people to experience what is written in John 10:10  by helping people live life to the fullest in Christ.  He believes that God wants to redeem the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles and is thankful to be serving in the area.

He is a die hard Green Bay Packers fan and enjoys the outdoors, adventure, traveling, sports, music, and is a serious mac user.
