After earning full academic and sports scholarships to UC Irvine, he graduated with a Computer Engineering degree and went on to balance his career with a passion for ministry. Santosh accumulated 10 years of experience working in the aerospace industry while maintaining his missions outreach in South East Asia. Both locally and globally, he has over 20 years of ministry experience with planting churches, leading Bible studies, developing leaders, growing communities, and building nonprofits. Santosh has a heart for helping people find hope, healing, and purpose through a genuine relationship with God. He adores his beautiful wife, Christy, and their four girls. Though his competitive sports days are over, he still enjoys getting out on the basketball court and imagining that he’s still got the skills from his 20s.
