Oxford Nordberg was born Jacoby J. Dressell on February 10, 1970, in Gardena, California. His early years included moves from California to Tacoma, Washington, and by 1977 he settled in Palestine, Texas, where he spent much of his childhood. He grew up in an abusive household, which contributed to instability and legal troubles during his teenage years.
As a young man, Oxford attended McKinney Job Corps, earning Retail Sales and Accounting certifications in 1988. He later moved to Seattle, Washington, in an effort to build a relationship with his mother—a season marked by hardship and disillusionment. After many difficulties, Oxford, his wife, and their two children relocated to Dallas, Texas, where they sought a fresh start. Their family later grew when their third child was born in Fort Worth, Texas.
In 2005, because of Oxford’s selfishness and infidelities, his marriage ended in divorce—a period he now views as one of the clearest examples of the consequences of living for himself rather than for others.
For much of his life, Oxford lived far from God, including many years as a Satanist. In October 2022, he made a defining decision to stop running and commit his life fully to Jesus Christ. That transition was not easy. Learning to live for others, to walk in humility, and to surrender pride required deep personal change. In April 2024, Oxford was baptized at Gateway Church in North Richland Hills, Texas.
His Christian walk has included moments of great joy and seasons of deep challenge, yet through it all, Oxford believes God never gave up on him. Through Christ, he has been taught about maturity, commitment, unconditional love, restraint from judgment, and honoring every person made in God’s image.
When Oxford reflects on the end of his life, his prayer is simple:
That those who knew him can honestly say—he was flawed, but without a doubt, he had a heart after God and his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
