My Story

I grew up in a small town in North West Iowa called Graettinger.  I was involved in CCD throughout grade school and had a good support system growing up.  I was always encouraged to grow in my faith.  I was a lukewarm Catholic at best throughout my adolescence and early college career. I had my first big encounter with Jesus at SEEK in 2022 and again in 2023. I slowly began saying yes to Bible Studies and extracurricular activities on Campus at STA at Iowa State.  I was lucky to be surrounded by a good group of men while attending Iowa State. They had a large part in my growth as a man and in my faith life.  I graduated from ISU in 23′ with a B.S. in Agricultural Business and worked for Consolidated Grain and Barge Co for 2 years post-college. I slowly realized there was more to life than what felt like chasing money and a career during my time in the agriculture industry. I heard the call and kept feeling the call, and finally responded to that call this Spring 2025.  I’m excited to get out on campus and make a positive impact on young adults on college campuses!i

Your Impact

Your impact helps me reach souls on campus at Illinois State University, so I can encounter those students so that they might be seen, known, and loved. As well as to proclaim to them the Good News to help build up the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
