It’s exciting to be a part of Palomar Christian Conference Center. I spent every summer attending a local camp as a child and volunteered in high school as a part of the summer staff. My journey has included serving in the United States Marine Corp as well as in the business world before being called into full-time ministry. During my years in ministry, I have served as a missionary to India, in a discipleship school and as an associate pastor. God brought me full circle back to camping ministry where I have the privilege of creating an environment for others to have a similar life-transforming experience that I had.

I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve at Palomar for over a decade, and I am passionate about creating environments where people are built up in their relationship with Jesus and with each other. I met my wife at PCCC and we enjoy raising our family on the mountain.

I started working at Palomar in summer 2019 and have worked year round ever since. I have an interest in all sorts of animals ranging from the largest blue whale to the smallest mouse and everything in between, especially dinosaurs. This fits right into me studying Marine Biology and Paleontology.
