I meet people the way guys collect baseball cards... I like them in packs and I keep track of them. My God-loving, hardworking parents raised me to know Jesus and serve people. They still inspire me with their faithfulness and I am in ministry because they sacrificed so much to help me follow my calling in life.  I chose YFC because I saw the need in 2002 for ministry to go where kids are and I see that now more than ever.  

I love what we do because it gets right to the root of everyone’s deepest need. Sharing Christ is the most important thing I’ll ever do.  I get to do it in a loving, creative and kind work family.  My gifting is a genuine fascination with growing, learning and encouraging others.  I am flexible with every part of our ministry except the Gospel.  I see the beauty and happiness in my staff, our community and in our young people. 

Ever since I was a young boy, I looked for someone to look up to. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find someone who stepped up and decided to mentor me. I made the decision back then that I would do everything in my power to be the teacher and friend that I wish I had when I was a kid! Now after having been in youth ministry for over 10 years, my team and I are now exploring online avenues to reach students where they are and create bonds that lead to life and flourishing.
