Since 2014 Pastor Joe has been serving as an Associate Pastor for an International English speaking church in the country of Costa Rica. Here he has overseen various departments at the church but his primary passion is teaching and helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Before coming to Costa Rica he has served as a church planter, hispanic ministry director, college minister and youth minister which gives him over 15 years ministry experience.

He earned his Masters of Divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary (now Gateway Seminary) and enjoys serving in a multicultural, International setting where there is so much potential to make an impact for the Gospel.

He and his wife Lizette have two children.
