“The First Course”

Before I dive into tales of torched tenderloin, macro sneaker shots, or the time I nearly rage-quit hospitality for the twelfth time, let’s set the record straight on what truly matters.

This blog exists because of two things:

My faith in God through Jesus Christ. And my wife, the Queen of my castle and calm in my chaos.

Everything else? Just seasoning.

We are non-denominational Christians - not religious in ritual, but relentless in relationship. Our walk with Christ isn’t something we tuck neatly into Sunday mornings. It’s the thread that holds the whole tapestry together. It’s what carried us through the storms, the setbacks, the smoke breaks, and the spreadsheets. Through the months when salaries were delayed, the years when dreams felt like practical jokes, and the countless moments where we should’ve spiraled - but didn’t.

Because grace held us up, and together.

Faith isn’t just the name of this blog. It’s the engine, the compass, the reason I keep going when logic says tap out. It shapes the way I lead, the way I serve, the way I write, love, work, and hopefully… inspire.

Now, let’s talk about the other cornerstone: my wife.

She’s not just my partner - she’s the person who taught me what unconditional love looks like on a Tuesday night when I’m at my worst and still somehow gets me to eat salad without a hostage negotiation. She makes hands down, the best food I’ve ever feasted upon, and her quiet strength reminds me daily that royalty doesn’t need a crown - just consistency.

Together, we’ve built a life that’s part comedy, part hustle, and all grace. And that’s what Faith Driven is about: the mess and the miracle. The burnt edges and the beauty. The behind-the-scenes moments that don’t make the Instagram highlight reel - but define you more than any filter ever could.

So welcome to my world. Expect restaurant rants, reflections from the front lines of leadership, sneaker worship, food worship, and actual worship. This isn’t just a blog - it’s a backstage pass into a life that’s imperfect, unconventional, and by God’s mercy, still unfolding.

Let’s begin.
