The calling came first. Everything else — every truck, every contract, every line of automation code — was built to carry it, not the other way around.

I'm a licensed pastor and volunteer with the Department of Corrections badge clipped to my belt. The badge isn't a credential I display. It's a key. It gets me through the gate at Oklahoma correctional facilities — into Bible studies, into one-on-one counsel with men who haven't heard the gospel from someone willing to walk in there voluntarily. Some of them were lost before they stepped inside. Some are finding their way out spiritually long before they walk out physically. That's the work. The badge is the door.

On the street, I run with Ice Angels of OKC and a handful of outreaches across the metro. Meals when it matters. Conversation when nobody else stops. Prayer at a curb when somebody needs it more than a sandwich. We meet people where they are — under bridges, in tent camps, in the corners of parking lots — and we treat them like the human beings they are. No sermon trap. No catch.

Then there's Red. Red is the truck — the one in that first picture. Red carries the work and the mission in the same trip. Every clean-out we run loads out of the back end of Red. Every donation in good condition goes straight to homeless charities before it ever sees a landfill. The truck isn't transportation — it's infrastructure. The bridge between the houses we clean and the people on the streets who need what's sitting unused inside them.

The newest layer is the prayer ministry itself. So many people I meet want to pray and have no idea how to start. They've been told it's about saying the right words. It isn't. We meet them where they are. We give prayer a direction. And we walk with them as they build a prayer life that doesn't fall apart the moment something hard happens. Leading: meeting people, directing prayer, building prayer lives.

As a pastor, I'm here to show the world Jesus lives in me — and can live in you, too. This isn't something I do on the side. It isn't a hobby that fills the gaps between a real job. This is who I am, what God has called me to do, and what I will not stop doing.

To live a calling like this, I needed work that moved around it — not work that blocked it. So I built Curb Elite Solutions LLC. Faith-driven property maintenance across the OKC metro: pressure washing, windows, sealing, screens, junk removal, gutter service, custom curb work. Every clean-out we ran, every load we hauled — anything in good condition went straight to homeless charities before it ever saw a landfill. The business was feeding the mission from day one.

Then Red went into the dealership. Bills don't pause because your truck does. Most people in that moment pick between hustling harder or backing off the calling. I picked a third option. I sat down. I studied. I trained. I came out a certified AI Architect — and I built Bot-Brand. An AI Automation Agency that engineers autonomous infrastructure for service businesses. Voice agents that answer leads at midnight. Workflows that follow up so nothing falls through the cracks. CRM automation that turns scattered service companies into systems. Same mission as before. Runs from anywhere. Red is back. Bot-Brand is built. The mission runs on two engines now — one with a tailgate, one with an API.

I am not asking for charity. I am asking for the chance to work.
