I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at age 10, but it was not until my mid-twenties that I totally committed my life to Him. After working in the field of Industrial Engineering in the Agricultural Industry for 20 years the Lord called me to Moscow, Russia where I planted a church and served as Senior Pastor. After three years, the Lord directed me to return to Modesto and I came on staff at Calvary Chapel Modesto in 2003.
