My family

I have been dating my lovey girlfriend Caylin for over a year. 

My story

"Raised in the Midwest in a first-generation migrant family, I grew up with three wonderful sisters and was immersed in a cultural Catholic tradition. Despite this, I lacked a personal relationship with God. During my pre-teen years, I faced struggles with self-worth, frequent fights, and poor academic focus, even skipping summer school. Seeing my challenges, my mother suggested I attend a local youth group, which led to a profound transformation. The summer before I began high school, I encountered the Lord, who radically saved me, and I haven’t looked back since. That same year, I started serving in the church, driven by a desire to be the kind of leader I wished I’d had during my early years. Fourteen years later, I continue to serve faithfully, including over a decade in vocational ministry. In 2020, I felt called to join a church plant in Los Angeles. I recognized that my time there was meant to be temporary, as I was still praying for a permanent place to call home. By January 2023, God graciously led me here to Texas. Today, I am still serving God's church with the same heart and passion to see leaders grow and develop, and I am thankful to do that here at Cylife."
