My wife, Alise, and I have been blessed with 31 years of marriage, three wonderful children, and one beautiful grandson. For more than 30 years, I have worked as a union pipe fitter and currently serve as a Plumbing Superintendent and Estimator for Champion Industrial Contractors in Modesto, California. Since March 2020, I have also had the privilege of serving as Pastor of Oasis of Hope Church in Riverbank, California.

My journey in missions began over twelve years ago with my first trip to Guatemala. While helping weld and fabricate a new roof for an elementary school in San Lucas Tolimán, I witnessed firsthand how practical acts of service can make a lasting impact. The school's old roof was deteriorating, allowing rain to pour into the classrooms. Seeing the difference a simple construction project could make in the lives of teachers and students deeply transformed my heart.

Since then, I have been honored to participate in numerous mission projects throughout Guatemala, helping build chapels, Sunday school buildings, classrooms, pastors’ homes, and church conference centers. Beyond construction, our teams have also helped support the printing and distribution of hundreds of thousands of Bible booklets through a network of Christian pastors, teachers, and volunteers. These materials provide students with valuable biblical principles and, most importantly, introduce them to the love and salvation found in Jesus Christ.

It is a privilege to be part of what God is doing in Guatemala. I invite you to join us through prayer, giving, or serving as we continue sharing the hope of Christ and meeting practical needs in communities throughout the country.
