I'm from Guatemala, Central America. I am married to Jennifer Burleson Velasquez, who is originally from Alabama. We are blessed with three beautiful girls.

My wife, Jennie, and I were missionaries in Guatemala for nine years. I graduated from The Business School at Panamericana University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and worked with the IT department at the Christian Academy of Guatemala for seven years. I also served at the Hogar Manna Children's Home Orphanage for two years. 

Currently, I work for Hartselle City Schools as a Technician in the Technology Department.
