Growing up, I lived for the moments I could get on the ball field, whether it was playing little league field with teammates or in the back yard with the neighborhood kids. As this passion developed, I began to find my identity in sports, and based my value in who I was as an athlete. Although I grew up in church, it was in college when Jesus really reached my heart, and changed my life. I learned what it meant to be loved for who I am and not just what I can on the field. It is a blessing to join the FCA team, with the vision to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.

My first connection with FCA came while coaching baseball at Houghton College. Getting to work with athletes and coaches in pursuit of the Lord was a privilege, and it confirmed my desire to join the FCA team. As the Westside Area Representative for FCA Greater Rochester, I get to work with coaches and athletes at Roberts Wesleyan College, and high schools in the surrounding area. I am excited to begin pouring into the awesome community of Rochester and seeing how the Lord works in the lives of coaches and athletes!
