Family: I have a beautiful wife named Jasmine and a daughter named Layla


Hometown: Brea, CA... it wasn't West Philadelphia, but more North West Orange County...


Refuge became part of my family… May 2024, when I was given the opportunity to lead an amazing Youth Ministry here at Refuge.


I became a Christian… I was born and raised in the church. It was during my time in Jr. High that I understood the importance of what it meant to make my faith my own. I am thankful for the youth group that I was a part of for helping me build the foundation for growing in my faith and learning what it means to be a Christian.


I became a Christian… When I was in the 5th grade. The Lord radically changed my life after I graduated from college. He lead me to knowing him and serving Him like never before!
