He was born in Honolulu, Hawai‘i where his parents began the first church in the Assemblies of God in Hawai‘i, as the first appointed missionaries. He grew up in a multi-cultural church.

He is on the board of several ministries: His Loving Touch (HLT), Health, Education, and Life for all Peoples (HELP), LoveLight Ministries, and His Hope Unlimited. He is a part of the Yucaipa Valley Ministerial Association which began and supports Interfaith Community Support (ICS), a food ministry for the Yucaipa Valley residents, and is part of the volunteer pastoral staff of The Blessing Center in Redlands (which includes Joseph’s Storehouse, job training, and a homeless shelter).
