About
On October 12, 2024, I married my college trombone buddy, Stella. We are Olivet Nazarene University grads ('21 and '22). At the moment, we live and work in Aurora, IL, living out God's great adventure by saying yes to whatever the Lord has for us.
We've also got a pretty cute Cockapoo named Rocky. Rocky's passions include fetch, the dog park, cuddles, ice cream and shredded chicken. He is still a puppy.
What Can We Do For You?
Teaching
I am a professional computer science teacher at the K-12 levels. I teach basic computer skills, basic IT skills, and introductory to advanced programming for high school and college students.
My extracurricular teaching background includes youth and high school wrestling, youth and adult BJJ, and high school and collegiate marching band. If you're looking for a teacher, coach, drill writer, or tech, please reach out!
Stella has been a professional band director for various grade levels for over 3 years. She has done private lessons, developed programs from scratch, and is highly regarded by her peers in every workspace she participates in. Email her at smbarrera987@gmail.com!
The Global Great Commission
Above all else, our lives are dedicated to worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has called all of us to join Him in fulfilling His Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20). Sharing the Gospel to every tribe and tongue is not a suggestion—it's for all believers!
Fundamentally, Jesus calls us to do three things: pick up our crosses daily and follow Him, make disciples of every tribe, tongue, and nation, and love our neighbours. We believe that all Christians are called to do these things together as a family called the church.
