To tell you something about myself

I became a Christian at the age of 19 at Calvary Chapel West Covina in California, under the leadership of Pastor Raul Reese. After several years of serving in the children’s ministry, I felt called to deepen my commitment to ministry and moved to Riverside, California, to attend Survival Ministries, a training school led by Pastor Bob Probert. Although I initially felt a strong desire to serve in Africa, God had other plans. Upon completing the program, I was invited to join the staff and work closely with Pastor Bob, where I was privileged to be mentored by him.
It was during my time at Survival Ministries that I met my wife, Linda. We shared a mutual passion for missions, and not long after, we were married. We’ve now been married for over 30 years, and I truly cannot imagine life without her by my side.
After our time with Survival Ministries, I joined Campus Crusade for Christ and served with Bill Bright for four years. At the age of 30, with three young children, I felt led to return to school. I was accepted into the School of Ministry under the direction of Pastor Chuck Smith and Pastor Carl Westerlund. Those two years were both challenging and transformative—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. After graduating, I was invited to join the staff and began serving at the Calvary Chapel Conference Center and Bible College in Murrieta, California. Over time, I was entrusted with the role of Director for both the Murrieta and Twin Peaks conference centers.
Later, Pastor Chuck asked me to move to Costa Mesa to oversee and direct The Word For Today radio ministry, publishing, and the Calvary Distribution Center. After his passing, I sensed a significant transition in our lives and felt it was time to leave California. With our three children approaching high school age, we sought a quieter place to raise them.
We relocated to Park City, Utah, and the 14 years we spent there were a tremendous blessing—something we would not have experienced without stepping out in faith and trusting God’s leading. As our children grew and eventually left the nest, Linda continued her career as a flight attendant, while I felt a renewed call to something different. Tired of the snow and sensing God’s direction for a new season, we moved once again.
In 2020, we found ourselves in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico—a move that was entirely unplanned but clearly ordained by God. Though we never imagined living here, we are continually reminded that it is the Lord who directs our steps, and we are grateful for the journey He has led us on.
