Personal testimony:

At an early age I believed what I had been taught about who Jesus was and what scripture said about him.  At age 10 I asked Jesus into my heart.  Throughout my childhood, I attended Christian schools and received a strong foundation in Scripture.  I renewed my commitment to Jesus in my second year of college, and since then have devoted my life to ministry. 

After graduating from Seminary, I went back to Escondido, where I had previously attended high school, and became ordained at Wellspring Christian Fellowship Church in 1998.  I met my wife there, and we were married in 1999.

I have found that my passion is to be involved with leading people in worship music.
