ABOUT ME
A life of service. A heart for people.
If you’re here, someone probably pointed you my way — a talk, a friend, a conversation that stuck with you. Welcome.
I spent 21 years in the Army, from West Point to retirement as a Lieutenant Colonel. Somewhere along the way, the questions got bigger than the mission. That road led me into chaplaincy, into sacred ceremony, and into Heartspace Church, the community I lead today.
I’m a husband to Zaira and a dad to Sky, Rey, and Rio. I’m still learning — and I’m glad you’re here.
