I grew up in between two worlds; a hearing family (strong-rooted Catholic) and the Deaf community. On February 14, 1999, I received the greatest gift; the Holy Ghost. In June 2001, I married my wife, Sandra, who has followed her own call of the Lord into the Deaf Ministry. I am the father of two, now young adults.  Over the past 20 years plus, I have attended numerous National Deaf Evangelism Ministry (NDEM) Conferences. Since 2009, I have led the Deaf Ministry at First Faith Church in Overland Park, KS. It was during the Kansas City NDEM Conference in 2016, where I felt God's call to become a UPCI Licensed minister; receiving it the following year. I continue to serve Deaf Evangelism Ministry UPCI since 2018.

As a young adult in 1991, I was anointed by God and felt called into the deaf ministry.  I married the love of my life in 2001 and have faithfully been serving at First Faith Church as a church interpreter for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.  My burden is for the Deaf to learn about and get to know God.  For them to develop a relationship with Him by reading, studying and clearly understanding His word.  I am constantly willing to learn, develop, and share my skills/knowledge of all things supporting the Deaf Community.
