Testimony
I grew up in a very religious family and went to church every Sunday, but never had a relationship with Jesus Christ let alone read my Bible. I always thought my good would out weigh my wrong so I would make it to heaven based off works. When I got to college away from parental authority I turned my back on God and fell in love with the world. I got caught up in drugs, sex, alcohol and became an atheist. Once out of college I was making money and buying new things, yet felt empty. I was then invited to a Bible study and I thought "why not". It was in this second Bible study that the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the loving relationship I now have with Jesus. A couple years later I was Baptized in the Holy Spirit and then things really kicked into high gear.
Current Job
Currently I am a visual art teacher at the Cloverleaf School District in Lodi, Ohio. I also serve as a Youth Pastor at First Baptist Church in Seville where I help young people grow in their relationship with Christ by building them up in love. Lastly, I'm president of the Giant Hearts Project, which is a charity that helps communities achieve giant needs through loving them well.
Personal
I am happily married to Alaina Michel and a father of 3 amazing daughters Natalie, Evelyn and Lucia. I really enjoy spending my time with family and pouring my heart out in the community around me. It's a blessing to wake up everyday to server a wonderful God and represent Him wherever I go so people can see Him through me.
