I first felt called to ministry after a youth mission trip to Jamaica, and I knew then that God was leading me to work with kids or youth in some capacity. I graduated from Evangel University in 1997 with a BA in Biblical Studies and have faithfully served in the church in various roles ever since. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a kids director, youth leader, choir director, worship team member, church secretary, and more. Ministry has been a part of my life since my teenage years, but in 2024, I felt God calling me to take the next step and pursue becoming a licensed minister. With the encouragement and support of the pastors at Turning Point Church, I completed the process and am now a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God.

My heart is to build, develop, and disciple the kids at Turning Point, helping them form a real, personal, and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. I want them to know that He is just as real for them as He is for adults, that they can talk to Him anytime, and that He is always with them. I am equally committed to the parents and leaders surrounding these kids, striving to help them recognize and develop the unique skills and gifts God has entrusted to them so they can fulfill His purposes.

In addition to ministry, I’ve been blessed to own and operate multiple businesses. I believe these ventures are gifts from God, and I strive to honor Him by stewarding them well. Whether it’s businesses, programs, or people, I have a deep passion for creating, building, and laying strong foundations, watching as they come to life. I thrive on seeing things take shape.

Paul teaches in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that in our weakness, God’s strength is made perfect. I firmly believe that when we offer our little, God will use it to accomplish great things. This truth has been a personal journey for me, and I continue to learn and grow in it daily. My greatest joy is being an instrument that God uses to encourage, empower, and inspire others to embrace this truth and rise to their full potential in Him.
