My two kids are the greatest gifts in my life, and being present for them truly matters to me. When I am not in dad mode, I am probably at PIHOP or somewhere outdoors: hiking a quiet trai l for a little peace and perspective. I often feel closest to God not inside church walls, but beneath open skies, among mountains, the smell of soil, and the disarming music of nature. Professionally, I work in cybersecurity in the defense industry, which keeps life interesting, challenging, and occasionally full of stories I cannot tell. My work has taught me to notice details, stay calm under pressure, and appreciate people who are both smart and genuine. My faith: I am a believer in Jesus. I attend church but majority of my faith-life is around PIHOP (Pasadena International House of Prayer). It’s a place for those who want to connect with Jesus without the friction of spiritual pomp and circumstance. it's for those who want to pray and meditate on His goodness day and night. I’m involved with prophetic prayer (The Well) which allows people to come and connect to the goodness of God through direct words of encouragement for their lives. I also lead (learning to) individuals through extended prayer for emotional and spiritual healing through a practice called Immanuel Prayer, as I myself have been on the receiving end of such gracious healing from Him. Also, as a software architect, I develop software to help run PIHOP as hundreds of people participate weekly through many ministries.
