I am so excited and honored to be the Middle School Director here at Coast Hills Church!  

I am engaged to my beautiful fiance, Elena, who also has a passion for middle school ministry. I love anything in the outdoors, camping, hiking, and fishing are some of my favorite ways to spend time in God’s creation.

 I grew up at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa where I attended Calvary Chapel High School as well as where I went to youth group. As I entered adulthood, I began attending Mariners Church in Irvine, where I immediately started serving in the Junior High ministry. Since junior high was the season of life when I truly came to know Jesus and youth group became the highlight of my week, I’ve always had a deep passion for walking alongside students.

After a couple of years, God was calling me to step into a staff role, leading both high school and middle school students at Mariners Mission Viejo, which was an incredible season of ministry where so many awesome relationships with students, leaders, and families were forged and most importantly where I met my soon-to -be wife.

After nearly two years there, I’m excited to follow God’s call to serve in middle school ministry here at Coast Hills. I’m looking forward to building real and right relationships and helping students encounter Jesus in a real way, just like I did in junior high.
