About R.L. Arenz III

R.L. Arenz III was born in the heart of Gator country, Gainesville Florida, in the early '80s. Raised in the church, he was steeped in the word and lifestyle from a tender age and quickly learned service required sacrifice and determination. Throughout his secular career, R.L. has served as a Sunday School teacher, Children's Church Leader, Youth Pastor, and minister. Three things have seen him through his life and its many trials and tribulations. His Faith in God. His strength in family. And his sense of humor.
