I spent most of my childhood in the great state of Texas! I began following Jesus after a young man invited me to his student ministry at a local church. That is where the Gospel came alive for me. It was during my time in the U.S. Army I felt God really calling me to ministry. After my time in the military we returned to Dallas and I attended Dallas Christian College where I earned a degree in Practical Ministry. I am currently working on a Masters in Apologetics. I have served in student and children’s ministry for over 10 years.
