To see what I’m working on, check out my Now page.
I’m a pastor, entrepreneur, and community builder — but more than anything, I’m someone who believes ordinary life can be lived with extraordinary intention.
As the lead pastor of Mariners Santa Ana, I’ve had the privilege of walking with people through some of their most defining moments — the ones that reshape who they are and who they’re becoming. That work has taught me that growth isn’t accidental. It’s the result of paying attention to the right things.
That’s what this space is about.
I write and share through three lenses that organize my own life:
Awe — the inner life. Who am I becoming? Who are we becoming together? This is the spiritual and relational core — the beliefs, practices, and convictions that shape a person from the inside out. I’m drawn to the idea that wonder is not weakness. Paying attention to what moves (fear) you is the beginning of wisdom.
Alignment — the learning life. What do I need to know to become who I’m called to be? I am a reader and a lifelong student. Here I share the books, ideas, and frameworks that have shaped my thinking — because the right knowledge at the right moment can completely reorder your life.
Action — the built life. What am I actually building? Faith without works is incomplete. I believe in systems, in follow-through, in turning vision into reality. This is where I share what I’m working on, what I’m figuring out, and what’s helping me move from intention to execution.
