Favorite part of working in ministry:
George Bernard Shaw once said, "Youth is wasted on the young." I understand what he meant by this, but I believe that's why Jesus told us to reach young people. I am passionate about these young people and their relationship to Christ. We should never give up on our young people and should fight to share with them the love of Jesus.

I have an associate degree in architecture, and have also been to the school of hard knocks. I have worked in student ministry for 18 years. I also work as a videographer.

Favorite verse:
“Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted; propose your plan, but it will not stand, for God is with us. This is what the LORD says to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people: “Do not call conspiracy everything this people calls a conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. “ Isaiah 8:10-13

Favorite part of working in ministry:
Lots of things! To start, being able to bring God's word to life in crazy and fun ways. It definitely keeps me laughing and it gets the kids excited about what they are learning. Also, worshipping with the kids. There's not much that's better than seeing a child shut their eyes and sing to our God.
