MERGE Director

If I could have any superpower, it would be?

“Teleportation would be sweet. I could attend multiple events for students in one night, save tons on gas, get rid of my car and car insurance and attend 5 churches every Sunday…in 5 different countries! In addition, I could do overseas missions trips every week and when the Michigan winters get tiring, I could just hit the beach in Florida or Australia for a few hours!”

How long have you been working at YFC?

“I started at YFC in 2004 and I love it!”

What inspires you most about your role at YFC?

“The best part is getting to share love, truth, purpose and Jesus’ forgiveness with young people who have none of that. A second unexpected blessing of coming on staff with YFC has been getting to work with the many different and beautiful parts of the Body of Christ in Kalamazoo. Being non-denominational allows us to be a gathering point for dozens of churches and that has been incredible to be a part of bringing the Body together.”

My favorite thing to do when I was a kid was:

“My favorite thing to do when I was a kid would be anything to do with sports or being outdoors…with wrestling, soccer and fishing topping the list.”

The best advice I ever got was:

“The best advice I ever received was a guaranteed way to stop a cough…just take a bunch of laxatives and you will be afraid to cough! In all seriousness though, the best advice was definitely to seek God fully and follow His Word diligently. He never fails and His Word is always true. You can’t go wrong following that advice!”
