I was born in Quito, Ecuador, raised by my mother and her family. It was a humble home, but always loving.

I have always been drawn to art but specifically to Christian art such as painting and singing. When I was a child, I would use the broom as a microphone and sing for my family; they continue to remind me of those memories.

The moment that has defined my life was when, after a life threatening accident, I asked God, "What do you want from me?" That was a desperate and humble question I asked the Lord at age 20. It changed my life from being purposeless, to a life as a servant of Christ. I am not perfect but he will finish what He started in me.

I studied music at the National Conservatory of Music in Quito, specialized in classical guitar and Opera singing.

I graduated from Semisud (Seminario Sudamericano) with a degree in Pastoral Theology.

 Iā€™m married to Cameron, the love of my life! And God has giving us 3 wonderful kids, Graham, Liam and Francis.

I serve as the worship Pastor, and coordinate all the musical aspects for gathered worship: preparing, rehearsing, and scheduling worship teams, working closely with other worship leaders, trying to develop and mentor them in their ministry. I also preach when required.

 I love this community and I'm so thankful to God for the work that we can do in Ecuador.
