SEPTEMBER 2026 MILESTONE UPDATE: Currently funds are needed for the following: (1) $2500/month for my livelihood in Baltimore (2) $800 for a short trip to Honduras this November to discuss next steps for Taller San José.
>>>>>
After years of prayer and professional preparation, I have made the decision to step out in faith to become a full time musician and missionary (or "musicianary" as some of my friends like to say). I especially hope to start a project that has been on my heart for years: Taller San José (St. Joseph’s Workshop), a trade school in Honduras. For now, I am based in the U.S., and currently focus on sharing the vision of this project through my music and raising support for the project. Please consider supporting me and accompanying me on this new adventure!
In order to dedicate 100% of my time to making music, evangelizing, and supporting my friends in Honduras, I am seeking monthly benefactors to support my livelihood. While one-time donations of any amount are truly appreciated, monthly donors are necessary to make this project successful. Would you consider supporting me monthly? Donations to this platform are considered personal gifts and are not tax-deductible.
Other than giving a donation, you can also support me by having me come share my music and mission at your church, youth group, or local coffee shop. For instance, I could come lead a worship service or concert at your church, sharing about this project and the general mission of Missioners of Christ, my mission community in Honduras (i.e., our sponsor-a-child program and mission trips).

Missionary. As a full-time missionary, I commit to: a life of prayer and intercession for my benefactors and greater community; sharing the Gospel through my music; and volunteering at my local parish.
Creative Background. I am a singer-songwriter, author, and bilingual worship leader with over 10 years of experience leading worship at both Catholic and Christian services nationally and internationally. I learned Spanish while serving as a full-time missionary with Missioners of Christ in Honduras from 2016-2018, and I have visited every year since 2010. Several of my creative works were inspired by our mission including my debut album of contemporary Christian music, Fireheart (2025) and my children’s book, The Campesino’s Dream (2024; also available in Spanish). As I travel to share the vision for this project, I’ll use my creative works to both highlight the mission and share the Gospel.
Taller San José
While Taller San José will eventually have its own dedicated funding page, funds from this GiveSendGo page currently supports my personal livelihood and travel to Honduras and around the US to share my music and raise long-term support for the trade school.
Trade School. The workshop will provide human, intellectual, and spiritual formation to young apprentices through dignified work and community life in the environment of a local workshop in Honduras. Apprentices will work with local craftsmen, farmers, and artists. My detailed plan for the trade school is 10 pages and counting. Contact me if you’re interested. Otherwise, stay tuned as we continue this adventure together one step at a time.
Project Background. While serving with our mission in Honduras over the years, the Lord captured my heart for the worker, specifically young men from our men’s ministry who desire to find dignified work to make a livelihood and support their families but who are unable to do so due to the poor infrastructure of their country. After graduating with a M.S. in Industrial Engineering and an M.A. in Human Factors Psychology, I moved to Honduras for 2 years to learn the true “heart” of our mission in Honduras. After the end of my time there, I was encouraged to pray about a project that could have a lasting impact, and this trade school is what came to my heart. Over the years since then, I have met with several members of my mission community (knowing that I could never do something of this size on my own) and truly feel encouraged that this project is “of the Lord” as they support me in this effort.
