The works of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are foundational in his walk. Raised in Judaism, he found Christ at 16 and has worshiped in many denominations, including Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Seventh Day, Evangelical and Non-Denoms. This has prepped him to unite the Body of Christ and restore biblical values to our nation and world.

He’s worked with a legendary Disney illustrator, Lucasfilms, moviemakers and magazine publishers. And he’s colored comic books, including Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated. He’s helped dozens of churches, non-profits, and ministries, and taught at religious institutions, realizing there’s no higher calling than teaching kids the Bible.
Along the way he’s helped many churches and groups of faith, including TPUSA Faith, One for Israel, Via de Cristo and Tapestry Christian College. He’s on the Board of Seminary Covenant Community, an organization founded in 1975 that helps equip and train those who are called.
