God brought Zoro through an underprivileged childhood and helped him accomplish amazing things. Raised with his six siblings by a struggling single mother, his family lived in abject poverty. Barely getting by on food stamps, they moved 30 times by the time Zoro was in 4th grade. Despite their hardships, his mother filled his heart with faith, hope, love and dreams. As far back as he can remember, Zoro felt a strong presence of God and asked Jesus into his heart at the tender age of eight.
            
Zoro’s love for music started in childhood as well. They didn’t have much money, but one Christmas his mother bought him a Mickey Mouse drum set out of the Sears catalog. The paper drum skins lasted all of that Christmas Day before they were destroyed. What did last was his passion for the instrument. Early on, Zoro knew his destiny was to become a professional drummer.
 
Years passed, Zoro married and his career took off. Yet as he became more on fire for God, his marriage began to unravel. Not long after the divorce, a devastating earthquake hit Los Angeles. Zoro lost everything and hit rock bottom.
 
His faith was put to the test, but Zoro remained steadfast and obedient. God honored his faithfulness, and since those dark days, everything he has laid his hands to has prospered. Since 1995 Zoro has been happily married to the love of his life, Renee, and has been blessed with two beautiful children. His faith, family, career, and ministry have all flourished.
 
Zoro may have grown up without an earthly father, but knows intimately the Heavenly Father who has stood right beside him through his trials and triumphs.
