Personal Jesus Story

At an early age of 8, I lost my mom and at that point the concept of God, Heaven and Angels was shared. That planted the seed that there was something much bigger I did not understand. I believed in God, but as I watched my wife grow in her faith through small groups, I decided to join a small group with a group of Christians, seeking a better understanding of the gospel. It was at that time I said to myself that I may never really comprehend this entirely and just accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Passion for Heaven Is True

The concept was imagined in our home during a couple’s small group and I provided informal support and now look forward to leveraging my skills to help further the mission of spreading the gospel – Mark 16:15: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” I embrace this as a meaningful opportunity to advance HIT while in parallel supporting my personal transformation journey. I have much to learn yet much to share as I continue building a relationship with our Father like no other relationship and spreading the gospel as directed.

Career Experiences

During my professional career in IT Services, I have been afforded the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions while assuming numerous roles to support business needs ranging from Sales, Operations, Transformation, Strategy, Governance and Compliance. In addition, I served on the board for Blue Sky Ministries to assist in building a foundation for sustainability and growth.

Personal Touch

I have been married for 39 years, and we have two adult daughters. I enjoy basketball, long walks, hiking, bike riding, landscaping, the beach and spending time with family and friends. I trust that God will place me where needed to best leverage my leadership, organizational, analytical and results oriented mindset to advance the Ministry.
