As a proud father of two young daughters, I embrace the daily challenge of shaping strong, independent women while instilling the core values of faith and resilience that are the backbone of our family.Recently my journey into Christian apologetics ignited a fire within me to delve deeper into my faith, turning every question into a battle for truth and understanding. In my off-hours, you’ll find me honing my Jiu-Jitsu, trying to get lost int the woods learning various bushcraft skills, and hitting the driving or shooting range for some target practice — each pursuit a testament to becoming a more humble and technical man I pray to one day embody.I played a pivotal role in launching and operating the largest indoor shooting facility in Naples. Today, I channel that passion into my work as an operations consultant, partnering with local trades companies to drive efficiency and success. One of my greatest achievements is the partnership with my wife in homeschooling our daughters. Together, we forge a solid educational journey that is both nurturing and deeply rooted in biblical principles, preparing them to tackle the world head-on.As I look forward, I'm on a mission: to learn through Christ the best way to spread the Word of Christ and raise up the next generation, to multiply multipliers—teaching them that there is an objective value of truth, no weakness in meekness, and an unyielding desire to make a small impact for a Big God.
