I currently reside in Lenoir City, TN with my wife Jackie, and our two boys, Izzy and JD. I'm trilingual, fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. In 2023, I became SYMBIS Certified and have been a Board Certified Christian Counselor through the National Association of Christian Counselors since 2019. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Pastoral Ministry from Logos Christian University in 2016.

Recently, I graduated from the City of Knoxville’s Police Department Chaplaincy Corps and now volunteer to minister to police and their families. This includes ride-alongs, visitations, crisis support, and monthly 24-hour on-call rotations.

Together with my wife, we operate Therapeace Counseling. Our mission is to provide emotional, spiritual, and behavioral healing and guidance. We specialize in marital counseling, P**N addiction recovery support, and leadership development.

Having accumulated experience supporting both non-profit and for-profit organizations, I've effectively trained employees, volunteers, and leaders. My aim is always to help individuals develop their leadership skills, build cohesive teams, and foster vision growth.

I'm a seasoned speaker and frequently present at conferences, workshops, camps, businesses, and churches. I engage with various ages, speaking to children, youth, young adults, and adults alike.

My favorite speaking topics are healing emotional wounds, identifying behavioral strongholds, developing healthy coping skills, setting boundaries, overcoming anxiety, fighting p**n addiction, marital conflict resolution, integrating faith and mental health, and mental health in business.

My favorite skills to use are curriculum/content development, leadership development and program management.
