Helping people build faithful relationships with Jesus and with each other in community brings me great joy. It is a gift to be a leader in God's church living out faith in daily life and discovering our gifts to love and serve our neighbors.
I joined Desert Cross as Associate Pastor in January of 2021. I am passionate about creating community in the midst of an ever-fragmented culture.
