Vinnie's Short Bio:

I currently reside with my wife and son in the metro DC area on the Virginia side of the river. However, I was born in Eastern Canada. I lived a simple rural Canadian life until I was 13 years old and my parents divorced. After being bounced around, I moved just outside of Toronto.
I’ll spare you the details and just say my life was littered with existential problems that nearly crippled me until two major life-changing events happened relatively together 1) I went to college for Social Work and 2) I became a Christian. These were not isolated events in my life at all, but rather were a combined stream of sanity and meaning that would forge who I have become and just as importantly who I am becoming.
It was shortly after that I met TinaLynn, and we embarked on a future with her becoming my wife. Through a course of life events in 1998, we moved to North Carolina, Tina nursed and I engaged in church planting. Following that, we moved to Tennessee where I completed my BA in theology, and after spending time district pastoring and completing my MA in Pastoral Care. More recently, I had the chance of a lifetime to reboot some struggling churches into one all-new, relevant, and amazing, Solid Rock Seventh-day Adventist Church in Arlington VA. It was during this process, that we made community connections that led to the adoption of our first son Jose. I am currently on my newest Pastoral journey that the awesome Vienna Seventh-day Adventist Chuch and Academy (school).  Revelation 14:4 says “They followed the Lamb where ever he went.” I don’t know what adventures are ahead of me but I do know who is leading me. Want to come along with me and Jesus?
