My Story (Briefly)

The early portion of my life was tough, but I had family who loved me. I was always a gifted kid, but I grew up in a tough environment which made me feel awkward. That’s all I will say about that for now (no dry snitching). It wasn’t until much later in life that I began to embrace the things that made me different from others around me. I eventually taught myself to program computers, and after spending most of my adult career as a software engineer and technical architect, I sensed the call to ministry. I then became the founding and lead pastor of Northeast Community Church. I also co-host the What in the WORD podcast that is streaming on most major podcast platforms. Teaching and communicating biblical principles and how they apply to life is my passion. This site is where I express some of that passion.
