I graduated in 2009 from Urshan College (formerly Gateway College of Evangelism) with a degree in Christian Ministry, emphasis in Biblical and Theological studies - GPA 3.21. I currently work for TCS supporting and solving problems for multiple testing departments with heavy SQL utilization. I have 14+ years of experience in financial software testing with both Waterfall and Agile!

I serve as the Assistant Pastor of The Jesus Church, drummer for the praise team, member of the youth staff and served four years on the SCTX Youth committee, planning youth camps, district and sectional events along with other roles and responsibilities. I am also the owner of Primera Empresa, LLC. My first foray into business was purchasing a Door Renew franchise (no longer operational) where I learned a great deal of owning a small business, being an employer and bookkeeper as well as marketing and sales. For a brief time, I was doing life insurance on the side via American Income. I do not plan to keep my insurance license current.

On a side note, I have also successfully represented my wife and I in civil dispute. The legal arena is very intriguing and may become more of an interest if certain avenues make themselves available. Being part of a legal team is certainly an interest of mine.

I'm always looking for new things to challenge myself. I have several projects that I dabble in; oh which, three are growing in priority and showing actual results.

The oldest of these is the #theFETEN project (the Financial Education That Everyone Needs). Yeah, had that name long before the drug was popular and just haven't been able to get away from it. So I'm going to try and be counter culture I guess. Currently, the script of book 1 is completed. I've hired a graphic artist I've met via iRacing (sweet hobby), Joseph Johnson. Looking forward to sharing that finished product! The PDF will be a free download, but if you'd like a printed version or a proper E-book, I'll be using Amazon's publishing. Transparency, I'll only be asking Amazon for a $5 royalty profit per sale. The rest goes to them - just an FYI.

My other two are tied hand-in-hand. With the advancement of AI tools, I want to make a Bible web-comic and also a completely musical audio Bible. Drawing inspiration from Weird Al's Jackson Park Express, I feel like music can do more than what we've been using it for. The struggle though is deciding what genre and whether or not I keep it consistent. For example, creating a Pop audio Bible, Reggae audio Bible, or do I let it be a melting pot which certainly goes with the theme of the Bible as it is. 

All three of these projects will be posted on this website in their respective pages - please use the menu to locate the appropriate pages. If they are missing, it's for a reason - check back later!

I am married to a wonderful and amazing woman, Charinda Gonzales! She's been such a great encouragement, accountability and really my best friend! She's also a much better preacher than I am! She serves as our Spanish Pastor, schedules translation for all of our services, teaches at home bible studies and they gather for a specific Spanish language service once a quarter!

She works for Communities in Schools, a non-profit organization working with at-risk students in the schools where they are located. Her work includes:

  • various forms of health & hygiene services,

  • brokering,

  • tutoring/mentoring,

  • providing school supplies,

  • supporting actual school staff and events,

  • and many other things that I don't get to see.

As for hobbies, I've already shared some personal projects. However, I must say that I enjoy motorsports! I follow NASCAR as time permits and also participate in the NASCAR Fan Council. This entails replying to frequent surveys following events and milestones throughout the year.

At least once a year I try to get a group to do some karting - usually for my birthday! In 2023 I visited San Antonio Karting Complex and was super impressed with their facility - making it my new local favorite karting facility!

My ultimate goal is to get involved in some karting clubs/leagues and eventually move into actual auto racing at the local dirt track (I37 Speedway).
