I am a proud native of San Diego. I graduated from San Diego State University in 2005. For a while I lived in Pasadena where I attended Fuller Theological Seminary and graduated in 2008. I also lived in Berkeley for a year where I attended Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary 2010. I have traveled denominational lines and, by God's grace, found a home in the ELCA in 2006.

    I have been married for seven years to Enrique (On-reek,) my best friend. We have two sons. Sebastian is two years old and Isaac is due on October 10, 2010. I enjoy reading, especially the Bible and theology. In my spare time I like to walk, watch zombie movies, practice Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and sample wines. I am also a fan of exploring new cities and neighborhoods.

    Here at St. Peter's I have the opportunity in serving a variety of different ministries one of them is leading St. Peter's Youth program S.P.Y.
