I grew up with a single mother, immersing myself in sports and friends. Youth group became a part of my life in middle school, and in eighth grade I accepted Christ and was baptized. Since then, like most would agree, life was not a cake-walk, but blessed and filled with opportunity.

Many twists and turns that I did not plan on (funny how that’s usually how it works) brought me to Fort Hays State University were I participated in cross country and track for two years (2005-2007), God used that to get me involved in FCA and then Christian Challenge, where I dedicated my college time to reaching the campus for Christ (as well as studying, of course). That led to having opportunities to be on the leadership team with Christian Challenge, go on a mission trip to East Africa, attend two summer projects in Colorado and one year on Staff with Christian Challenge. Also during my time at Fort Hays, I met my now wife Megan, by far the better half.

Now, in this present time, I have the great blessing, opportunity, and task to present the gospel and continue in ministry to youth. My hope and prayer is that God will use myself and Megan to impact those who are involved (young and older) so that they may impact others.
