I’m married to my best friend Aubrey. She is a beautiful wife and loving Mom, and she makes coming home sweet. I’m Dad to my four boys: Elijah, Roman, Jude, and Ozzie. As a family we like to eat and when we are not eating we are usually thinking about what we want to eat next.
I became a follower of Jesus at a FCA baseball camp as a high school senior. On July 4, 2000, God graciously showed me that my attempt to find joy in this life apart from Him was silly and ultimately sinful. From that day I began the lifelong process of following Jesus. It is interesting though how God often has to take things away from us in order for us to know Him deeper.
After college, I moved away for graduate school. I moved away from home, family, friends, and everything comfortable. I had nothing left to distract me…. so for the first time I opened the Bible and read it cover to cover. For the first time in my young faith, Jesus was bigger than just my personal savior. He was the center of my story, the center of the Bible, the center of human history, and He was the center and source of all joy. I have never recovered from this truth.

I am married to my best friend Analisa. We have two sons named Dom and Kai. We love trying new restaurants, playing board games (or any form of competition), and watching a good movie.
I’ll never forget my Great-Grandma bringing me to church when I was 3 years old. These church gatherings opened my eyes to Christ. When I look back and reflect on all the years after those times, I see that God has been writing a beautiful story in my life and the lives of people around me. I have seen God’s hand in seasons of suffering and pain, and through small moments of redemption in my life, I have learned of God’s work in all of creation. It is a privilege and blessing that I get the chance to make a small contribution to God’s big work in the lives of his people and his church.
I have a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Grand Canyon University as well as an M. Div. from Phoenix Seminary.
