Age: 26
City you live in: Tulare

What word would best describe you: Unicorn

Describe the perfect day: The perfect day would start by waking up around 9 or 10. It would consist of going snow skiing for a few hours, squeezing in a round of golf, and then finishing with a dinner at Benihana. All of this would be done with my wife and good friends. Sounds like a great day!

Who are the top 3 most influential people in your life: Laurie Tiesiera - Mom, William Lane Craig - Theologian, Randy Jackson - Musician/Producer (Who doesn't put Randy Jackson on this list!)


What’s going to be playing through your headphones on this trip: A little bit of Needtobreathe, U2, Seabird, and maybe bring back some Supertones!

Why did you sign up for this trip: I have been interested in foreign missions for a while. When the opportunity came up, I was excited to join the team. I'm excited to go serve with my wife and my other best friends.

What excites you most about this trip: I'm excited to go down to Haiti and give people the good news. To let people know that there is hope in a seemingly hopeless situation.

What are you nervous about in this trip: Honestly....I can't think of anything that makes me nervous about this trip.

How can people pray for you through this trip: People can pray for us that we selflessly serve the Haitian people. To completely drain ourselves in giving the people Hope. Pray that the Spirit will be alive in our group and radiate out to affect the people.
