I grew up with Christian parents, and came to know Jesus as Lord and Savior at a young age. During my time at university God did a work in my life and brought me to a deeper surrender to Christ as my Savior. During university, God also opened the door for me to serve in short term missions, which began a shift in life direction for me. After studying and working in the field of electrical engineering as well as overseeing a youth group, I sensed God’s leading into pastoral ministry. I attended Talbot School of Theology (Biola University), during which time Sara and I married. During that time I worked with a college ministry.

My family and I moved to Ecuador in 2012 to join the pastoral team at EFC, where we initially focused our ministry efforts with young adults. I now serve the entire church body as Pastor. My ministry passions include preaching, and equipping believers to faithfully follow Jesus and effectively serve God in the ways He has gifted them. We have three children. I enjoy cooking, playing board games, reading, and spending time outdoors.
