My faith journey:
I was born in Arizona. My family bounced around between a few different states before settling here in Florida. I grew up in Osceola county, in both St. Cloud and Kissimmee. Although I was not raised necessarily in a Christian home, my parents thought it best that I attend a Christian school. It was there while attending Heritage Christian School that I first heard and understood the gospel. It would not be until later in life that I would fully surrender my life to Christ; however, I did trust in Him as my savior at that time. I went on to graduate from Osceola High School in 2002 which is also where I met my wife, Joanna. After graduation, I worked in construction and later became the owner of a landscaping company. Joanna and I were married in 2006. We had our daughter, Stella, in 2010. Being a father became my greatest joy! I experienced various trials and struggles over the past 25 or so years, and I found myself separated from God. After our family suffered through an exceptionally trying time in 2019 we started re-evaluating everything. It took some time but we started looking for a church and began attending Grace Pointe in 2023. We quickly became connected and started building meaningful relationships through serving and fellowship. I found myself being discipled by a few godly men who came alongside me and my relationship with the Lord has grown significantly. It has been a joy to serve the church and the body of Christ in various ways.
