What are you passionate about? Jesus, finding out who people really are, people, sports, Duke, the South.

What’s the best thing about your job? Getting to live in direct community with others and play a role in their lives. Being able to grow and challenge myself and others in their relationship with Christ on a daily basis.

Favorite memory from your college days? Going to England, rec sports, and tubing down a creek with the guys at midnight.

What’s your vision for Northwestern? To be the spitting image of Jesus Christ. That NW it would so exude the presence of Jesus that the surrounding area and the Twin Cities would begin to be transformed in His name.

What do you love about residence life? Living in and with people, being relational.

What piece of advice would you give to incoming Northwestern students? Seek Jesus, have a quiet time everyday, don’t slack off on your work, it’s ok to say no to things or people because of work (even though it’s hard), get involved with something/anything that you’re passionate about, make fun, wild, and crazy memories that you will remember forever.
