Personal: I grew up in the cold winter wonderland of Marquette, MI. In the 7th grade I had a life-changing experience that affirmed in my heart that what I wanted more than than anything was to live and work full-time as a ministry leader and teacher. This was an incredible experience and a realization for me that has left an eternal mark on my heart. My "call" couldn't have come at a better time as I was finally accepting the reality that I was too short and way too limited to ever make it in the N.B.A.!

 

Education: In December of 2010 I graduated from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago with a B.A. in Pastoral Ministries. Chicago was fun but I am honestly way more thrilled to wake up each day in the beautiful, Dr. Pepper drenched heart of Texas!

 

Random: Here are a couple random  things about me. I'll play and watch nearly every sport... except for NASCAR. I really love to read. I also like running, bonfires, and finding new ways to share and illustrate the Bible. And I like Disney movies-probably more than the average male my age! They are terrific. The most recent one, 'The Princess and the Frog' was great but my favorites are the animated version of 'Robin Hood' and of course, 'The Lion King.'
