How awesome that I get to serve God and His people through my love of fishing!? I have over 20 years of congregation-based youth ministry experience including two graduate degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary: a Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Christian Education with an emphasis in Youth Ministry. I served the Boy Scouts of America as a lifegaurd and merit badge instructor in swimming, lifesaving, rowing, and canoeing at Camp Meriwether. I am a trained lifeguard through the Red Cross and B.S.A. as well as a certified Open Water Scuba Diver. 

I serve as the Director of Children, Youth and Families at Pullman Presbyterian Church. I am a Washington State University alumnus, where I earned my BA in Human Development. I enjoy outdoor activities such as swimming, biking, and fishing on the Snake River, as well as watching sports, and going to the movies! I have 7 years of certified professional lifeguard and water safety experience through the American Red Cross. My favorite Bible verse is John 11:25-26, check it out!
