The fighting began when he was just four. At twelve he was jumped in and joined a gang, at thirty he had spent a third of his life behind bars and found himself with three life sentences. In solitary confinement, about to put a noose around his neck he made a desperate plea and prayed for the first time to God asking if He would get him out of his three life sentences and put him back in general population. 

​

Within twenty-four hours his prayer was answered exactly. The first thing he did was find a bible. Fast forward a decade, he and his wife have rescued deportees and trafficked kids in Tijuana, pastored a mega-church, and now co-pastoring Tougher Than Hell Church.
