For 28 years, I drove a truck across America, hauling freight and meeting people from every walk of life. Those years on the road shaped my heart for the overlooked, the tired, and the forgotten. I spent five years in commercial grading, learning the value of hard work, precision, and building things that last.

In 2003, I took my first mission trip to Panama, and everything changed. God opened my eyes to the deep spiritual and physical needs in Panama, inspiring me to serve. A few years later, I met a local missionary in Almirante, Panama. I have worked with her and their ministry for years. I saw families struggling, children at risk, and a community hungry for hope. In 2024 their mission house had been destroyed by flooding leaving her to minister from the streets.

The Lord is sending me back to Almirante, Panama, to help rebuild the mission house, strengthen the local church, and support efforts to prevent human trafficking — a growing threat in the region. My heart is to walk the streets, go door‑to‑door, pray with families, share the Gospel, and bring the hope of Christ to a town that desperately needs it. Your partnership can make this purpose a reality.

After nearly three decades on the road, God is now leading me down a new path — one that carries the same mission I lived out at every truck stop: love people, serve faithfully, and point them to Jesus. I am stepping out in faith, trusting God to provide partners who will stand with me as I return to Panama to help rebuild lives, restore community, and shine the light of Christ in Almirante. I invite you to join me in this shared mission.
