an older headshot photo of me from when I started pastoring. I'll update it once I get new photos done.
this is a picture of my wife, my baby, my toddler on my shoulders, and me in our old home the day we moved out to leave for Colorado
About me

Multi-church Pastor

Hey there! I'm a district pastor for the Rocky Mountain Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. I serve the Adventist churches in Fruita, Palisade, Rifle, and Glenwood Springs Colorado. I'm 28 years old and I have a wide range of passions, but the thing that binds them together is ministry. 
I'm from Mexico, but I'm Coloradan at heart. My favorite trail is the Craig Crest on the Grand Mesa, and I love 'Olathe Sweet' Sweet Corn.
I graduated from Union College where I met my now wife, Emily. We have a toddler and a baby. Emily is a photographer and social media manager. I completed my Master of Divinity at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary in Michigan and have been a part of the team at the Rocky Mountain Conference of Seventh-day Adventists since 2017. 
My hope and motivation in ministry is to see the Lord come back again. In the meantime, I aim to help people on their spiritual journeys.

P.S. you'll notice i often leave my name in miniscule letters. i like how it looks and i think capitalization is overrated (though i agree it's still useful).
