Meet the Team
As the founder and leader of CFAA my job is to see that the mission of CFAA is empowering Christians on a daily basis to make God pleasing decisions in how they give, spend, save and invest and that the vision will fund the Kingdom all for the glory of Jesus Christ. It is also my duty to daily follow the guidelines given to a leader and overseer as laid out in 1 Timothy 3:1-12 which I would invite you to get your Bible and read. Proverbs 15:22 “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”
I joined CFAA in June 2008 to begin a new journey as VP of Education & Chaplain to encourage Christians to influence their culture through the Biblical usage of God’s resources. I have spent the last thirty years of my life in full-time or volunteer ministry. Janet and I were married in 1981 and have three godly and talented children-Courtney, Caleb and Dylan.
How exciting it is to be a part of God’s work at CFAA! I became a member of CFAA in February, 2009 and shortly after committed my time and talents to CFAA in a more meaningful way [originally as the Coordinator of Memberships and then as Pastoral & Community Outreach Coordinator]. Prior to becoming a staff member at CFAA, I was a professional educator for twenty-eight years in El Paso, Texas [teacher, assistant principal, principal]. In addition to my career in public education, I have twenty years experience as a personal financial advisor and thirty years as a professional musician [both in New York City and Texas]. My life is adorned and completed by my beautiful wife, Journeth, and my two incredible children; Joshua Caleb and Hannah Gabriela.
