Hello All!
 It’s so hard to decide what to write in a bio…let’s see, what do you need to know.  I guess first, you should know that I’m a youth minister in Northern Kentucky about 3 miles from Cincinnati, Oh.  I love it!  My youth hold a huge piece of my heart.

As for background info, I grew up in a small town in Kentucky. I love my family! They’re supportive even when I tell them I’m gonna leave the country for a year 🙂

This is my Niece, Shea
 
I came into relationship with Jesus at the age of 16, and God totally rocked my world. I was called into ministry when I was 18.  I went to a small  baptist college (Campbellsville University), and graduated with a degree in Educational Ministries in 2007. I had many opportunities to go on mission trips during my college years, and God wrecked my heart for the nations!  I have an extreme love for China, but God has really been teaching me a lot about loving the nations…all of them!
 As for things I love: Softball, Music, Guitar Hero, hanging out with friends… oh, and I’ve recently formed an addiction to sushi!
 
You’ll find that I LOVE being around people, which I guess is good since I’ll be with people non-stop for a year 🙂  I can’t wait to meet my team and start this incredible journey!
I’m excited to see what God has in store for my team and I as we follow His call to go to the nations.  I know that The World Race will change everything!  To God be all the glory!!!
