Ministry/Professional background
Since high school, I had the opportunity to lead worship at my home church in Mexico City. When I came to the US to 
St Louis Christian College, I served my freshman year at First Christian Church of Florissant in the worship and youth 
ministries. My second year, I helped with music at Central Christian Church in O’Fallon, Illinois. My Junior year, I started 
helping at Harvester Christian Church with the Hispanic ministry and later on that year, during the summer, I did my 
internship with them. During my internship, I met Jonathan Goss who was starting a church plant from Harvester in 
Troy MO called LifePointe Christian Church. Jonathan invited me to lead worship for them in December of 05. In January 
of 06, I was on-staff part time at LifePointe and have been working there since then. In May of 07, God allowed my wife and
 I to finish college and I have been able to become a full time minister on staff since then. God has done amazing things at 
LifePointe and I look forward to see what God has in store for us there.
Who led you to the Lord
My Aunt, Grandma and Mom. Their teaching and encouragement to read the Bible led me to see God in my life early 
in my teen years.
