I was born and raised into a godly family in Vancouver, Canada. In my teenage and early college years, I desired to follow Christ but struggled to fight sin for years. In my college years I learned about the sovereignty of God, learning that all of life was about God, and that He would bring goodness and growth as I centered my life on Him. I also realized that His sovereign hand had led me to Himself, and He had promised to save and sanctify me before time even began. Since the power of the Spirit convicted and encouraged my heart to understand this, I was radically changed from the inside out, and I turned my life fully towards what the Lord desired for my life.
I felt drawn into ministry at the end of college (2016) as I observed the need for gospel-centered churches and leaders in Canada. I prayed for God to raise up leaders, until I realized I could respond to the call myself. I then enrolled at the Master’s Seminary in Sun Valley, California for four years, as well as serving in the "Foundation" Young Adults ministry at Grace Community Church (part of 'Crossroads' College ministry). That is also where I met my wonderful wife Ashley in the Fall of 2017. We have been doing ministry together since we met, and were married in 2021.
I joined Cornerstone Bible Church as part of the Youth Ministry in June of 2020, and have loved this church and serving it. Besides knowing Christ and living with my wife, my greatest privilege is to talk about the gospel with teenagers, and serving alongside our wonderful spiritual family and servants of Christ at CBC. I love reading, writing, film, and jokes--but most of all talking about how Christ is King and how He changes our hearts. My future prayer is to find an opportunity to do ministry in Canada, whether supporting the local church or church planting, if the Lord provides an opportunity to return.
