In 2007, after more than a decade in the darkness of the occult, I surrendered my life to the risen Messiah and received His atonement for my sins. During my time in darkness, while I was in the Air Force, I was almost killed on duty in a serious automobile accident. I was hospitalized for nearly two weeks with severe injuries. Although I was too stubborn to submit to the Lord’s authority at that time, it was the beginning of a turning point. I was on a long journey, studying systems of Western and Eastern mysticism, as well as occult philosophy. My journey eventually led me to the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, CA, where I acquired an even deeper study of Kabbalah, as well as a unique education in Judaism, Hebrew, and the Jewish origins of Christianity. Today, I give presentations of the weekly Torah (Bible) portions, and lead Bible studies throughout Southern California.
Originally from southern California, I have traveled throughout the United States, as well as internationally. As a young man, I was a background actor throughout the late 1990’s. I was frequently cast in television shows such as “Baywatch,” “Boy Meets World,” “Brotherly Love,” as well as cast in movies such as “Mars Attacks,” “Black Sheep,” and “Jingle All The Way.” During a misspent youth and several subsequent rebellious years, I endeavored on a very exhaustive theological journey. Rather than stay faithful to the evangelical Christianity of my upbringing, I would spend countless hours with monks and meditating at the largest Buddhist temple outside of the Asian continent, located near my hometown. In my late teens I was a regular fixture at a renowned occult shop in Hollywood, CA. The resident sorcerer became my mentor and provided me an extensive education in Euro-American mysticism. At the age of 17, I graduated from high school and enlisted into the United States Air Force, where I was trained in anti-terrorism as a member of Security Forces. During the last year of my contract, I enrolled in a degree program at the University of Judaism (now the American Jewish University). There, I took several courses in Jewish studies, but I graduated with a degree in bioethics (pre-med), which required me to complete an internship at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center. Upon graduating, I traveled to Israel as part of a short-term ministry. I returned to Israel a few years later as part of a legal internship at the Jerusalem Institute of Justice, after completing a year of law school.
My journey culminated during my last year at the University of Judaism, when I submitted my life to the resurrected Messiah of Nazareth. I reflected on my many years studying Western and Eastern philosophies and could no longer deny the Truth that stared at Pilate, when he inquired about its meaning. I also considered the insights I acquired from my undergraduate studies. I reached a point, which forced me to accept the reality of the one true God, as well as the fact that I was a self-serving lost soul in need of atonement. I have since repented of my rebellion and have committed my life to servitude. After putting the pieces together and having an encounter with the Holy Spirit, I have committed the past 12 years to serving the Lord, and sharing my unique journey with others who want to be delivered from their own darkness by the hope only made available through Christ. I have also been overwhelmingly blessed with a beautiful wife and four lovely children. Drawing from my education at the University of Judaism and travels to Israel, I periodically present commentary on the weekly Torah portion for my home congregation in southern California. Although I am not Jewish, I am able to provide a unique exegetical perspective of scriptures. In the spring of 2017, I founded Conservatives Corner, a multi-faceted platform for political conservatives around the globe. Now, I feel that the Lord has called me to expand the work I do to serve Him, especially during this time of intense spiritual warfare in our society. However, I am stepping out on faith, and trusting that He will provide the means to expand my ministry with your help. “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Hebrew 11:6
I pray you will seriously consider blessing this unique ministry. If you feel led to make a contribution, Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, and may the Lord bless you!
