Welcome to my blog. I am the Administrator and Pastor of The Salvation Army in Pasadena, California. I lead and coordinate various social services, children's, music and church ministries.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Leadership and Ethics degree from Nazarene Bible College, and a Master of Science in Leadership Degree from Grand Canyon University. I am currently enrolled in the Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in Organizational Development at Grand Canyon University.
I was born and raised in abject poverty, in one of the poorest high-density of Highfield, in Harare, Zimbabwe. I grew up in abject poverty. Upon graduation from high school, I forfeited the opportunity to study accounting at the university, so I could work and financially support my three siblings for whose care I was now responsible.
In 1999 I left Zimbabwe for The Salvation Army School For Youth Leadership, in New South Wales, Australia. It was through this school that I first came to the United States, in 2000. I have worked for The Salvation Army since then.
I am a proud father of 2 beautiful girls, 11 and 16 years old. I enjoy reading, traveling, playing and watching football (soccer).
