How did you come to know Christ? In early 1987 I found myself in bondage to drugs and alcohol, and turned myself in to a drug rehab center to get my life in order. While I was in the treatment center my brother Lino started to minister to me about a relationship with Jesus Christ and by the time I was released from rehab I was so ready to give my life to Christ. On March 1,1987 I surrendered my life to the Lord and he delivered me from my life of drugs and alcohol.

Why do you work for FCA? I believe that God has given FCA the keys to every campus to reach thousands of athletes and coaches for his kingdom. We can change the culture of sport as we know it teaching biblical values to coaches.

What are your goals or vision for this year with FCA? To continue to walk through every door that God opens for us, and be faithful in the calling God has for us.
