I was born in Clearwater, Florida and have lived next to First Assembly my entire life. Growing up, I was actively involved in ministries at church. From elementary school through high shcool, I stayed plugged into many different areas of ministry at Clearwater First. After graduating from Largo High School, I completed two years at Clearwater Master’s Commission, followed by a semester at Southeastern University. I then returned to Clearwater for 3 years of Master's Commission Staff and continued my involvement with the Worship Arts Department. In December 2008, I became the Worship Arts Pastor full time with credentials through the Assemblies of God. My wife and I were married on March 12, 2011, and serve together on staff at Clearwater First.
