An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. The Alaskan frontier was foreign to Angel when in 2012, he moved his wife and six children across the country all the way from the east coast. In fact after he was born in Brooklyn, New York, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán. He then moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where he began his now twenty-six-year career in social services related jobs. His first job was working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker; group Home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director. Later, Angel worked as a social worker, family development liaison, and case manager. While making a difference in the lives of foster children, Angel served concurrently in ministry for eighteen years in diverse ministries such as, men’s ministry director, worship leader, prison ministry director, chaplain, counselor, Elder and senior pastor with credentials with the Assemblies of God. Angel has published two books. When not ministering, writing, and helping others, Angel can be found living the Alaskan lifestyle in the winter and grilling, barbecuing, hiking, golfing and riding his bike during the summer months. Angel is currently the Shelter Manager and Genesis Lead Counselor at the Fairbanks Rescue Mission. He is also an active member at True North Church where he serves in the Prison Ministry.
