Get To Know Your Group Leader

I was born in North Carolina and have lived here my whole life.  My wife Le'Anna and I have been married for 40 years and together we have 3 kids and 8 grandkids.  I retired from UPS in 2019 after 36 years.   I have learned many hard lessons through the years and would love the opportunity to help other men avoid some of the mistakes I made.  I would be honored for the opportunity to be your wingman.

I grew up in a Catholic family and always felt like I had to work hard to provide for my family, so I became a bit of a workaholic. When my marriage fell apart unexpectedly, it was really tough for me. But then I met my wife, Kim, and joined her family, along with Emerson and Alex. Together, we started exploring where we truly belonged. I started going to church with Kim with an open heart, and we had some deep talks about science and religion, which really opened my eyes. Eventually, I realized that Jesus is real and that the Bible is His word. One morning, it finally clicked for me: all I needed to do was believe in Jesus and give my life to Him. That moment changed everything for me! I am saved by believing in Jesus Christ, who forgives my sins and gives me eternal life through His grace and love. 

I am Hispanic born in Cuba. I am 65 years old and have a son aged 35. Divorced and remarried with three adult children on my wife's side, one deceased. Still consider myself an infant in my journey with Christ and it would be privilege to help each other in the journey.

I’m originally from Fayetteville, NC, and have lived in Winston-Salem since 2005. I’ve been blessed to be married to my beautiful wife for nine years, and we have two amazing children, ages six and three. My journey through manhood and fatherhood has been shaped by trial and error, and through the grace of God, I’m still here—grateful for the lessons and eager to share my story. My mission is to help build and inspire the next generation of Godly men.
