I was born and raised in Seattle, but my story mostly begins my Senior year of high school when we moved to edmonds and I joined a church called Westgate Chapel. I made a friend group and met a man named Kirk. As many stories go I had periods of time with questioning and wandering but I also saw Kirk as very consistent and unwavering in his faith. I spent years to follow in my 20’s in my professional life learning every aspect of construction and development of houses and apartment complexes. In the process I got a pretty good handle on communicating in Spanish. I believe that God gave me the ability to communicate in Spanish with people in my community and to connect and see into a culture beyond my own. I was fortunate to meet my wife Erika who is a fluent Spanish speaker and a bilingual teacher in the edmonds school district. We have built a life together where with our house, various business endeavors, her job, and our community. It is my understanding that we want to bring a Kingdom mindset to Peru. My goal with any involvement I have is to bring that mindset and positive attitude, so that others can experience the joy and blessings of a relationship with God!
