Founder and Leader of AWG
I grew up on a small lake surrounded by nature in Vestaburg, Michigan. From fishing and wakeboarding in summer to ice hockey in the winter, my childhood was filled with outdoor adventures and exploration. My parents, who pastored a church together, gave me a background to help build my faith and a passion for helping others. I find immense joy in guiding young people on their journeys of faith and exploration. I believe that no matter where life takes them, they can discover the joy of connecting with God through nature and living a meaningful life.

I grew up in Syracuse, New York along with my twin sister! We both have been trained to play golf competitively since we were 6 years old. I was a D2 student athlete before coming to Charis Bible College to pursue ministry. I enjoy being around people and creating deep connections. I’m excited to reveal the love God has for His young people; I can’t wait to come along on their journey of following Jesus and fixing their eyes on Him!
Romans 8:32 says “He did not even spare His own son, but gave Him up for us all, how will he not also with Him grant us everything.”
Leader at AWG
Born and raised on a ranch in Texas, my childhood was a whirlwind of adventure. From horseback riding and roping chickens to milking cows and exploring the creeks behind my house, every day was filled with new experiences and discoveries. This love for adventure and the outdoors has always been a core part of who I am. I’m excited to share that passion with young people, creating a space where they can explore nature, connect with God’s creation, and embark on their own exciting journeys. I can’t wait to welcome you and join you on this incredible adventure!
