Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me."
John 14:6

I graduated from Pharr San Juan Alamo High School, played on the District championship basketball team.  I also attended Pan American U and South Texas College.  I joined the US Marine Corps and served for 13 years with the 1st Recon Bn. and 1/23 Infantry Bn.  I am a proud Combat Veteran for Operation Iraqi Freedom, serving in Baghdad in 2009/2010, doing convoy operations with "The Rough riders" (USAR).  In 1994 I came to the realization of needing Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord, I was radically saved and God transformed my life.  I attended Bethel Bible Institue to know and grow more in the ways of the Lord and His ministry.  I joined the staff of FCA in 2010 as an Area Representative for the Upper Valley.  I love working with FCA because I get to reach out to coaches and students with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  FCA is a unique ministry that enables me pray and listen to coach's and athlete's/student's life stories.  That also helps me grow in Christ.  I have the ability to support them in their sport and school activities and work summer FCA camps.  God uses the FCA ministry to impact coaches and athletes/students valley wide.  What a blessing to serve in FCA!
