I grew up on the farm about 10 minutes outside of Hoopeston, IL.  I attended Hoopeston Area High School and I was involved in FCA as a student leader, along with being a three sport athlete all four years.  I graduated in 2015, and then went to community college for two years, before ending up at University of Illinois to study Ag Business.

After college, I worked for Heritage FS in Cissna Park, IL for two years as a salesman.  I ran into Daniel Chappell in February 2022 and he told me about the area rep position with FCA and we started meeting more to discuss me joining staff.  I left FS in July of ’22, went to support raising training in August, and then began my support raising journey in September.  I became fully funded on December 31, 2022 and joined full time staff in January of 2023!

I’m married to my beautiful wife, Hannah, who is the science teacher at Cissna Park High School.  We recognize the truly unique opportunity we have to work together in the same territory and with the same teachers, coaches, and students that we can minister to.  We are looking forward to watching how God is going to move through our marriage in this position.

When we’re not working, Hannah is a volunteer assistant coach for Cissna Park volleyball and I help coach for Hoopeston’s baseball team.  We love spending time with friends, being outside, hiking, and playing board games.  I (and hopefully eventually “we”) love all things Illinois sports, White Sox baseball, and Dallas Cowboys football.
