Tell us about your family.
I’ve been married to my love and partner in ministry, Braelyn, for 17 years and together we have a beautiful daughter, Micelli, and two beach boys, Brixton and Zion. We are also a foster family and have fostered four cute-as-can-be little angels over the last few years.

Describe your job here at The River.
I’m technically a “Teaching Pastor,” but my informal (and favorite) title is "Beach Pastor." I've been the M.C. and all-around hype man for our beach service for almost 12 years and I also enjoy teaching, collaborating with our leadership teams, and living the dream as a free-range pastor at the River.

El Burrito Junior (Special C baby!)

In your free time, what do you enjoy doing?
I enjoy surfing, reading, running, family beach days, and burritos.

What is your favorite thing to do in the South Bay?
Surfing with Micelli and Brixton.

What is one place you've always wanted to visit?
