Certified PMP, UC Davis MBA Ambassador 

For most of my professional life, I have had a dual existence as a Technical IT professional and a Pastor. In previous years, I considered myself bi-vocational, meaning "holding down two jobs at the same time", because each of these two very important parts of my life was separate. As exhausting as it was, managing my time across dual parts of my life, and trying to balance the responsibilities of both work and ministry, I thought that this was just the way that it was for multifaceted people like me, who are called to both ministry and the marketplace, but I now realize that there is a better approach to making a living and serving those that God has called me to. Did you know there is a distinction between the Bi-vocational and the Co-vocational leader? Bi-vocational leaders serve the church but do not depend on the church for his or her primary source of income. They essentially have two jobs. But “a Co-vocational leader embodies the idea that different callings are interlinked and equal." For example, if someone is called to be a dentist, teacher, or plumber, and is also called to start a church, the callings are not isolated from one another. A Co-vocation is an integrated approach to caring for oneself and serving others; a concept that acknowledges that a person's callings are not separate, but instead, intertwined. It's about aligning one's life to support oneself and their family, while also engaging in God's mission, whatever that mission is. This is why I've developed the Life Sync brand of products and services. Social Sync is a brand development and digital media management company of products and services for multifaceted/ multi-gifted people who desire a more holistic way of approaching their profession and their passion in life - a more authentic way to represent their brands.
