I studied Mechanical Engineering as an undergraduate student. While studying, I traded semesters working at NASA in Houston, Texas. It was while working at NASA that I felt the tug on my heart that God had another plan for my life. Upon graduation, I proceeded to serve as a missionary for the next 11 years of my life; serving in Greece the last two years.

Upon returning from Greece, I pursued my Master’s degree in Counseling, which led to a job with a major university. It was while working there that God did what God faithfully does and I found myself working as an engineer again. I managed major construction for the university. I also pursued my Master’s degree in Engineering Management and my Professional Engineering License. Fifteen years removed from my Bachelor’s degree and God still worked it out for me to be an engineer. All things are possible with God.

I now reside in Sacramento, CA with family focusing on ministry and writing.

What I Believe

God is our Creator

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Genesis 1:1, NASB

Man is a Sinner

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:23, NASB

Christ is the only way to God

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus or Lord.”

Romans 6:23, NASB

Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.”

John 14:6, NASB

The Christian Life is lived in the Power of the Holy Spirit

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.”

Galatians 2:20, NASB

“However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.”

Romans 8:9-11

Assurance of Eternal Life

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

John 10:27-30
