I have worked close to people all my life, starting out at 18 I entered the Master's Commission in Arizona training full time in a discipleship program. We studied the scriptures, memorized key verses, and took them to the streets of the homeless, the schools, the work districts and the neighborhoods. We trained in ministry to the hurting and the sick visiting hospitals and retirement communities. We held revival meetings, tent meetings, and traveled throughout 3 states to evangelize in local congregations and Mexico to give and serve the orphans and homeless. After such rich training I went on to learn the trade of a Barber. This honed my personal skills in such a way that I can make conversation with anyone. As the years went by, I found my interests in careers that involved people. While continuing my theological education and training, my dad and I started a small congregation in the mountains of California and enjoyed the honor to preach on the radio every Sunday morning. We would often tag team preach and travel to other congregations to preach in their Sunday night services. This led me to a panoply of professions from the ministry, teaching, policing, and management. After schooling in Biblical Archaeology in Jerusalem, I met my wife to be: Davene. We married and moved to San Diego, where I worked as a barber until helping to found and lead a new church congregation in Imperial Beach. While in the role as a minister, I finished my BS in Business Information Systems in night college. Eventually, we returned to Israel and led in the ministry in Tel Aviv while I finished an MA in Teaching. I have often found myself in leadership positions. Life's opportunities have taken me all over the globe from California to the Middle East; Washington DC, and now back to my wife's home town in Rockingham Country Virginia. Here in Harrisonburg, God has blessed me with a congregation of Christians that love Jesus and strive to serve him with their whole life. My journey is not my own, I share it not only with my amazing wife, but also 6 children. As a family, we are on a marvelous mission always looking for how God might direct us next!
