About Me.

I am a Cis gender, twenty eight year old, white-hispanic man, who was born and raised in North Carolina.  I grew up in the Presbyterian Church, USA, in which I was baptized and confirmed.  I am married to a wonderful woman, Elizabeth, and for the last four years, we have made our roots in and around Atlanta, GA.  Most of my ministry experience prior to seminary was working with youth in churches and in the Presbytery.  During seminary, I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve congregations in different capacities, as a pastoral intern and as a chaplain intern.  I look forward to new opportunities for creative and meaningful ministry that are sure to come new each morning, as God wills.
