My earliest memories of the Church was when I was 5 years old. I remember one Sunday walking up to the pastor of the church I attended and told him that I wanted to be saved from my sin. I was baptized in the days following and received my very first KJV Bible, which I still have today. I’m not entirely sure if, at the time, I completely understood the significance of what I was doing, but I do distinctly remember the feeling of importance behind the act.
Shortly after, my family moved to a new city and left the church. After the move I grew up without any Godly influence or Biblical understanding. I briefly attended church when I was a teenager but that didn’t last long. I joined the military when I graduated high school, and started my newly adult life with no foundation and next to zero Biblical interest. I made almost every mistake you could possibly make as a young adult in a new world and it’s a miracle that I was even able to keep my job. It wasn’t until a few years ago, after I adopted my two sons (one of which who is disabled and suddenly became very medically fragile) that my entire life flipped upside down. Hospitalizations, insurance battles, medical status changes, job jeopardy, marriage problems all plagued my life. I wasn’t sure if I could continue going and I started performing poorly at work.
During one of my sons hospitalizations, I randomly brought my Bible with me, and at my near breaking point, I decided to make a commitment to read everyday, regardless if I understood what I was reading. I thought the answers to all my problems would be somewhere in the texts and just took it by faith.
My situation did not improve and things were as unstable as ever. A few years later, my father even took his own life. But though my struggles did not go away, how I handled them drastically changed because what I discovered was worth more than gold. The Bible taught me how deal with my struggles by leaning on Jesus Christ. Eventually, my studies lead me to Bible prophecy where I became increasingly interested in the topic, and it was there that I learned of the sovereignty of God, the good news of Jesus Christ, and the blessed hope of the promise of an eternal future with Him, where my pain and suffering in this world would come to an end. I actually rediscovered my love for Jesus Christ through the study of the prophetic passages, and since, I have devoted myself to the prophetic studies. "For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus." - Revelation 19:10
I am currently and active duty member of the United States military with 16 years of service. During my time in the military I've served as a Search and Rescue Operator, Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Drug interdiction on the High Seas, Ship Navigator, and a Christian Lay Leader. I have traveled to 16 different countries in Central and South America.
I recently earned my bachelors degree from Liberty University and I am currently attending seminary at Liberty Universities Rawlings School of Divinity for Military Chaplaincy. Although I do have a special interest in Biblical Eschatology.
I currently hold certificates in multiple areas of biblical studies including: Teaching Bible Prophecy under the School of Prophets Institute, Hermeneutics: Principles of Interpreting the Bible, and The Arab-Israeli Conflict From 1948 to Present.
When people ask me why I study Bible prophecy my answer is always the same: “I study Bible prophecy because it helps me see where we are at on God’s prophetic timeline, and when I see current events playing out in our world today in light of the prophetic passages, I am able find comfort and hope in a broken world knowing that His soon return is right around the corner.”
I currently attend Fellowship Bible Church in Burlington, MA.
