TVC Responsibilities:
I collaborate with ministry leaders to understand and execute their visions for the spaces they oversee. I troubleshoot any technical difficulties that might occur during services and provide general maintenance and upkeep of production equipment.

When and how did the Lord save you?
I was led to Christ by my dad through a simple prayer. From that point on, I did all of the things I thought Christians were supposed to do—attend church, read the Bible, and serve on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. This was the extent of my faith, and I thought that checking those things off my to-do list made me a “good Christian.” During my senior year of high school, my friend sent me a sermon about lukewarm Christianity. This sermon impacted me greatly, and I pondered it for quite a long time. I then had two dreams through which the Lord convicted me and called me to repent from a life of lukewarm faith. This was a huge turning point in my life. I went from simply believing in Jesus to following Him wholeheartedly!

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I came to TVC in the summer of 2024. I had been working at a church in the area and got connected to people in the Production and Worship Ministry through one of my best friends who attends TVC. My wife and I had been praying for another work opportunity when someone at TVC reached out to me and asked if I wanted a job here!

If you had to give a TED Talk, what subject would you choose to speak on, and why?
The value of encouraging your kids to enjoy music through participating in its creation. Singing, playing an instrument, or sound design can be a lifelong skill that can bring joy and teach kids how to be responsible. It also is a healthy thing as you age.

Which fictional character would you be friends with in real life, and why?
I would want to be friends with Gandalf. He seems like a cool dude.

Favorite Hobby:
I play the drums!
