Who is Rudy?

I’m from L.A., with parents from Birmingham, Alabama. Aye, I’m “West Coast Alabama,” y’all! My lovely wife, Osharye, and I have seven crazy kids (yes, count ’em) and ten adorable grandkids. Our kids taught us what life is all about.

I’m grateful and honored to be a Pastor, a College Professor, a Trustee, and a Writer. I’m a two-time graduate of Hope International University (HIU) and a graduate of Southwestern Christian College (SwCC). I currently serve at Pepperdine University, Reunion Church, The Christian Standard Magazine, Hope International University, and Kentucky Christian University.

As an ordained Pastor, I am passionate about unity in the body of Christ, discipleship, and bridging concepts and people. I’m committed to the work of unity because Jesus prayed we might be one in John 17. Now, I do tend to speak with a passion and conviction. Personally, my reward in this existence, is seeing myself and others move one step forward as a result of each encounter, each endeavor.

I have over 20 years of experience in the social work field where I developed a passion for helping people help themselves. Although my favorite sport is baseball, I received a basketball scholarship to Florida A&M University. My favorite food changes each week, and I’ve read over 70 Star Wars books, which might just make me a Jedi. May the Force be with you. My favorite quote is: “Every man who stands to proclaim the Word should speak with something of the bold authority of the Word itself,” by A.W. Tozer.
