    I dread writing these things, but since the great Ellis and Julio have done it I have to keep up I guess. Well my real name is Daniel Dominguez and I was born to Ruben and Beatrice Dominguez in Denver City, Texas where I grew up. (got the name Tiny at youth camp when I was 15) In high school I played football and ran away from cheerleaders (at least that’s how I remember it). After high school I went to play football at the University of Texas-El Paso. That soon ended due to knee injuries and I transferred to Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, were I am finishing my degree. While I lived in Wichita falls I was active in the BSM and served as president for two years. I also served as youth minister at Iglesia Bautista Emmanuel and also Iglesia Bautista Ebenezer. I enjoyed living in Wichita Falls and thank God for all the leaders and minister in the area that encouraged and mentored me in ministry and allowed to speak at their events. I believe God used my time in Wichita Falls to mold me, teach me, and encouraged me in my calling to ministry. It was during this time when I became a camp officer for the Hispanic youth camp in Chaparral Baptist Assembly and also Congreso president.In October 0f 1999 I left Wichita Falls and moved to Fort Worth when I accepted te call to be the Associate Pastor with Youth at Iglesia Bautista Getsemani AE DJ (After Ellis, during Julio). I served there for 6 years and I am very grateful to be a part of a wonderful, loving, and caring church for that long. leaving Getsemani was really one of the hardest things I ever had to do in ministry, but it has been a blessing seeing that the youth and singles ministry is still impacting lives. I worked at the BGCT during the restructuring as the Hispanic Evangelism Associate where my duties were coordinating the statewide Hispanic youth and singles events (Congreso, Campamento, Convocation, HEC English Track, etc.) Currently I live in Lubbock and I am now the Pastor of Community Heights Church. I can’t believe I am pastoring, sometimes I feel like I have no idea what I am doing, then again that;s how I have felt during my entire ministry so I guess all is well. I do love Community Heights, it is a unique church. I love the members and miss them when I am out with other speaking engagements. It has een a blessing seeing who our church is reaching and also seeing these young couples serving the Lord. One of the blessings about my ministry that I thank God for has been my role as a communicator. I have had the  honor of being able to speak at several churches, Baptist universities, youth camps, Congreso, YEC and other events. I enjoy being able to meet people and also the ability to minister world wide. Hope this gives you a better idea of who I am.
