Additional Information
When I'm not practicing optometry I spend my time serving the youth as a town leader in my home church. I have been serving in youth ministry for the past 17 years and I have grown to love serving and mentoring our next generation. I have grown so much as a leader serving with the youth and have helped me to become a better listener as well.
