I produce the majority of the videos seen at Sandals. I started out as a video volunteer in 2004 making many of the early Pipeline and small group videos. My job is a fun way to be creative and artistic. I love that I have the chance to take my gifts to illustrate God's greatness and hopefully convey it in a way so that other people understand.
I go to Sandals because it is the only church that has ever made any sense to me. I've had a hard time dealing with any organized religion, because it was so hypocritical and fake. But when I came to Sandals, it just felt right.
I graduated from UCR with a BA in Film and Visual Culture. I also finished my first documentary in 2006, entitled Cuban Hip Hop: Desde El Principio (From the Beginning) which has won several awards and shown at various film festivals.
I am a really hard person to buy gifts for because I like a little bit of everything, but nothing real specific. Currently, my favorite TV shows are Scrubs and Flight of the Conchords—they’re silly and make me laugh. In the way of cinema, I love the movie Shawshank Redemption and other dramas, including foreign films.
My favorite passage is Jesus’ commandments to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and second to love your neighbor as yourself, as well as the passage where he saves the adulteress and says, (paraphrasing) “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” What can I say? I love the way Jesus thinks!
