TVC Responsibilities:
I serve in the Connections Ministry to recruit, develop, and care for volunteers. I also provide leadership for team leads and Saturday services.

When and how did the Lord save you?
I was baptized as an infant and from the moment that I was born, my parents put me on the path of knowing and loving God and His Son who washed away my sins. As an adult, I realized my sinful nature, and at an Emmaus Retreat, I surrendered my life to the Lord. I knew that I wanted to participate in serving at TVC, so I was baptized and gave my adult profession of faith on Easter of 2021.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
We moved to North Dallas in the summer of 2020 and attended TVC after the pandemic ban was lifted.

If you had to give a TED Talk, what subject would you choose to speak on, and why?
"That's the price of an education." My wife had an uncle that would say this when someone made a mistake. The statement stuck with me for its simplicity and truth when something went wrong. Learn your lesson and move on.

If you were to have your childhood dream job, what would your job be?
I would have been a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, and during the off days, I would have played third base and batted clean-up.

Favorite Hobby:
I am an avid sports fan. But these days, I find myself doing woodworking projects with my grandkids.
