I felt the call into full time ministry when I was 16 but really wasn’t sure how because I wasn’t your normal called to be pastor type and really that’s what I though being called to full time ministry was. At age 18 I felt a tug to want to help my youth pastor in a big way but wasn’t sure how to go about it. I felt I should wait and see. A few weeks later my youth pastor came up too me and told he wanted to pour into me, that he wanted me to be his assistant.  It was a real God moment. The following 9 months were great. Together we built a team that doubled our youth group from 50 youth to over 100.

At the time I was looking at different schools and I felt like at some point I would travel. In march of 2004, Tommie Zito Ministries came to my church to minster for a week and in that time I made a relationship with some of the team members.  They invited me to join there team. The next 6 years I traveled the United States & other countries such as Israel & the Ukraine. In that time I have learned so much about ministry both on the spiritual side and the business side. I would say my best gifting in on the business aspect of running ministry. I was soon there technical director and a few years later became there operations manager. There wasn’t an aspect of the ministry I was not apart of in some way. I enjoy working in the marketing and promotions of ministry. I have an eye for graphic design, web development, photography, videography, and video editing. I also inherited a key sense of marketing using properly implemented database technologies that integrate into the every day life of an organization. “The organization with the best running database wins!!”

In July of 2008 we traveled to Canada to minister in a church where I met my wife Ashley. The following year on September 17th 2009 we were married. Together he went on the road traveling together. It has been a blast. From the beginning we had talked about going to another country into the mission field. The opportunity surfaced at the beginning of 2010 and we began to explore our options. Together we are going to go to Guatemala to help in the administration of a brand new children’s home, “Casa de Alabbanza”. My wife Ashley is going to be director of the home and I am going to work to help her in anyway possible. At the same time I am going to document the happening of what is taking place in Guatemala and the Children’s Home. I want to be able to bring people who perhaps will never be able to go and help do something like this there in a real way using video, pictures, and the internet. I want to give people a reason and a desire to support such an endeavor with there time and charitable donations.  Together we will change lives one child at a time.
