Shaq is a former foster kid and currently serves as a pastor and an itinerate preacher. Shaq founded Orphan No More Foundation after seeing how sharing his story both motivated other believers to get involved with foster care and adoption, and seeing how his story encouraged kids currently growing up like he did. Shaq’s desire is to move the needle on the world’s orphan problem one story at a time.

Shaq and his wife, Racheal, and their daughter, Emerson, live in Murfreesboro, TN.
