story
My journey has always been shaped by two driving forces: a love for technology and a deep calling to serve. For over two decades, I’ve worked as an IT executive—leading digital transformations, architecting innovative systems, and mentoring teams to deliver meaningful, lasting impact.
But my calling didn’t stop at the office door. Today, I bring together my technical leadership and ministry passion to equip churches, leaders, and organizations with digital tools and sustainable strategies that advance both mission and message.
Whether I’m speaking in a boardroom or preaching in a sanctuary, my heart remains the same: to help faith communities thrive, to lead with excellence and integrity, and to glorify God by building what lasts—for His Kingdom and His people.
