With a strong desire to devote our lives to the advancement of God's will and work on the earth, in March 2018, we planted The Way Ministries - a multi-cultural, non-denominational, Bible-believing church located in Vancouver, Washington. It has been the work of the Holy Spirit moving in our lives, helping us to build a loving, thriving, and Holy Spirit-led ministry, which has touched the lives of many.

Previously, I served for 10 years at Song of Hope Church under the leadership of Pastor Ron Bronski and First Lady Debbie Bronski. While at Song of Hope Church, I served in the multimedia ministry, children's ministry, as a youth leader, and was eventually ordained and installed as the associate pastor. I completed five years of formal theological training at TU.M.I. (The Urban Ministry Institute) based in Wichita, Kansas. Like T.U.M.I., we have made it our mission to reach the least, the lost and the left out, which is our heartbeat at The Way Ministries.

From early on in my ministry, there has been a strong, burning desire to serve the local youth in Vancouver, Washington. In pursuit of this, in 2007, I co-founded a faith-based non-profit organization, Askeo International, which teaches today's youth valuable life skills through the sport of wrestling and summer STEM camps. Askeo International has played a major role in building God's Kingdom and spreading the gospel though personal and meaningful community relationships.

Olivia and I just celebrated 26 years of marriage and have been blessed with 6 amazing children and 11 precious grandchildren. Our entire life is centered around God, family, and community. I have definitely seen the fulfillment of Ephesians 3:20 in my life -"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
