I was born in Seattle, but have lived in the Los Angeles area for most of my life. I graduated with an electrical engineering degree from UCLA, where I met my beautiful wife, Amy. After getting married in 2012, we moved to Kentucky to attend The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I graduated with a Masters of Divinity in 2015 and came back to be on staff with CCAC in 2016. Prior to vocational ministry, I worked in the IT industry for nine years and also served in college campus ministry for three years. Amy and I are grateful parents to our son, Isaiah.
By the grace of God, I was saved in first grade through my parents sharing the gospel with me. I felt the call to ministry in college as I began to teach and disciple younger believers. I am passionate about teaching God’s Word and helping others to understand it, know God through it, and practice it in their own lives. I desire to build a community of Christians who are zealous for the glory of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and who love each other genuinely and deeply. I love my wife, my son, studying the Scriptures, drinking good coffee, playing basketball, reading, and the Seattle Seahawks.
