Reza was introduced to Jesus through missionaries from Athletes in Action while playing college football at Colorado State University. After his playing days ended he became a coach at the college level as a Graduate Assistant with Colorado State. Here he developed a passion for young people, leaders, influencers and athletes. After studying at Dallas Theological Seminary, Reza pastored College Students at a local Ft Collins church and in 2011 his wife, he and his wife Allyson planted a church in a neighboring community.

Currently Reza is the Local Director with Athletes in Action in Colorado overseeing ministry at a number of collegiate athletic departments while also serving the Denver Broncos as Team Chaplain.
