I am originally from the streets of the lower East Side, New York. I relocated to Valrico, Florida in 2012.

I am married to my wife, Julie, since April of 1983 and blessed to be a father of four beautiful children and a grandfather of five. Though I was raised in Catholicism, I actually came to personally know the Lord in 1979 through a youth retreat. It wasn't until November 10th of 1990, when I heard the testimony of Nikki Cruz, that I surrendered my heart to the Lord at Morningstar Tabernacle in  New York. Shortly there after, I was involved with youth and street ministry. I participated as an usher at the church and later on became part of the security team to secure the safety of our senior pastor.

In 1993 I felt led to bring my family to Zion, Illinois where I served as a Deacon at Faith Assembly. I was involved in the Royal Rangers, ministry for boys, where I held the title of Senior Commander. I was also engaged in the Promise Keepers Outreach Program.

God has placed me in the hospitality business where I find my joy in serving others. Overall, I am thrilled to be in a position where I can be an instrument to further God's Kingdom. 

It is my prayer that I serve God and his people to the fullest.
