I moved up to the Northwest after meeting a friend on a mission trip to India after high school. A couple of years later we re-connected, and I ended up coming to Federal Way to just “check things out.” I totally fell in love with the Northwest and people at this church. I decided to stay and now, years later, I am still here. It's where I met my wife Hannah.

I grew up hearing about Jesus, as my uncle was a pastor, but my family did not regularly attend church. In high school, God truly touched my life through a series of events and I have never been the same. He showed me so clearly that leaving my old life behind and following Him would be the greatest adventure on earth and, it has been.

My mom bought me an acoustic guitar and I started learning worship songs, and things just went from there. The Lord put a passion in my heart for worship; it was like being free after being locked away in a dungeon. The deepest desire of my wife and I is that people would know the truth about Jesus: that He is not just some good luck charm that people pray to before a football game, or some genie that grants you all your wishes, but a passionate lover of people, and He so desperately wants them to know the Father’s great love for them.
