I was born and raised in Missouri and attended schools in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Prior to joining SEND International, I served in summer camp ministries and taught in schools throughout the Midwest.  Upon joining SEND, I taught at Okinawa Christian School International in Okinawa, Japan for about 12 years, after which I transferred to Alaska where I now serve at Alaska Bible College (ABC) and Cross Road Medical Center (CRMC). At ABC I work with the college’s program that gives students experience in ministries while taking their classroom courses. For CRMC, I visit patients to encourage them and help them along spiritual lines.
