A life devoted to the Arts is, at its core, a journey of faith—an unfolding pilgrimage without a clearly defined destination. It demands passion and conviction, for the road is marked by both triumphs and trials. One must embrace each high and low as part of a greater process of formation—both as an artist and as a human being made in the image of a creative God.

My personal journey into the Arts began in 2001, not on stage, but from the audience. I vividly remember attending a children’s production of Peter Pan, a moment that remains etched in my memory as a turning point. At the close of the performance, I turned to my mother and, despite a childhood speech impediment, declared with certainty, “That’s going to be me up there bowing someday.”

By 2002, that vision began to take shape with my first experience as a performer. Over the next two decades, I pursued extensive training, countless performances, and ultimately earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre in 2020.

Like many aspiring artists, I anticipated graduation as the beginning of a vibrant new chapter in the world of performance. Yet, God had other plans. In a season of quiet reflection and spiritual awakening, I sensed a deep calling—not to the stage, but to full-time vocational ministry. With prayerful discernment, I stepped away from my talent agency and embraced the pulpit instead.

For the past three years, I have had the privilege of serving as Pastor of Groups & Families and as a Teaching Pastor at The Journey Church. This season has been transformative—rich with spiritual growth, leadership development, and a deepening sense of purpose. Yet, my love for the Arts has never waned. Whether behind a pulpit or within a rehearsal room, the creative impulse still stirs within me. The same sense of wonder that first captivated a four-year-old child continues to shape my heart today.

I do not know exactly what lies ahead, but I trust that the Author of my story is not yet finished writing—and that the journey, wherever it leads, will be full of grace, beauty, and purpose.
