Bio

Spiritual journey: I am thankful to Jesus for they journey he has led me on thus far. I came to know Jesus in a personal way in high school when a friend invited me to a small group that was sponsored by the Covenant church in Fairmont, MN. I had an intense conversion experience that changed everything for me. From that point I began to discover God’s plan for my life.

Call to ministry: I had a sense early on in my walk with Jesus that he was calling me give him my whole life and surrender to him. After high school I felt led to attend Youth with a Mission (YWAM) to establish further growth in my walk with God. After that I attended Minnesota State University where I received a scholarship in theatre. At that time God made it clear using those gifts for him.

How long have you been involved in ministry? I have been involved with student ministry full-time since 1998.

What do you think is important that we know about you, as a member of the Speaker Team? For most of my years of youth ministry I have focused on leading and shepherding junior high and middle school students. I believe it is a strategic age to reach young people for Jesus Christ. I am excited about leadership and developing others to do the work of Christ in their realm of influence. I am excited to use created means (like drama) to communicate spiritual truths to young people. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, and going on geocaching adventures. It is a privilege to be able to serve in any way I can!
