My family
My wife Shireen and I have been married since 2018. We are a blended family with four children, Trey, Jordan, Lola, and JJ.
My story
I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. The middle child of nine kids! At a ripe 18 years old, I got a job doing contract service work for a gas and electric utility company. Not long after, I presented an entry-level leadership role in Minnesota. So I moved to Minnesota, and less than a year later, I took a mid-level role in Houston, so I transferred from Minnesota to Houston. I spent the majority of my 20s focused on my career. After over a decade of climbing the ladder, I felt a huge void. I was unsettled and unfulfilled. I thought, "there had to be more than this."
And then God woke me. I began to experience God in new ways. I started attending church more regularly. I started seeing more fruit in my relationships, and people around me noticed the change. He was transforming me into something new, and it was happening through discipleship. 2018, we moved to the Cypress area, and God brought us to CyLife! We quickly joined a small group, and I got into a one-on-one disciple-making relationship. God was growing me faster than ever, and I was developing a deep passion for the mission of making and sending disciples.
