What you should know about me:
I was a trouble maker as a kid! Grounded nearly non-stop from birth until I turned 16 (didn’t want to lose those driving privileges). God used all of my grounded alone time to focus me on my calling: radio DJ. When I’m not on the radio or making mixes, I love exploring the city with my family, lose a lot of basketball games, win a lot of Mario Kart races, and serve various Christian radio-related non-profit causes.Fun fact:
I successfully ran away from home in 4th grade. Like, I was GONE for three months. Long story there. God was (and is) looking out for me.Favorite bible verse:
Proverbs 11:25 “He who refreshes others will be refreshed.” We live in such a “what’s in it for me” age. This verse reminds us to put others first and assures us God is taking care of as we serve others.

What you should know about me:
I will say that one thing that was huge in my youth was my battle with leukemia at the age of three. I was not cured until I was six and I will say that looking back it was really cool that most of my earliest memories were in a hospital gown holding a toy to keep me happy while also surrounded by folks who loved and cared for me.

What you should know about me:
I am always down to meet up for coffee and talk about God’s goodness. As a wife, girl-mom, and dog-mom I feel abundantly blessed. I grew up in Urbandale, IA and am the oldest of seven children. I graduated from Northwestern College with my degree in Theatre and Arts Administration. After college I moved to Kansas City and married my high school crush. We lived in Kansas City for three years before we moved back to our hometown of Des Moines in March of 2022. I love all creation, but I choose to love spiders from a VERY far distance.

I enjoy being a husband and father and a good friend. I like to spend time outside, often in my neighborhood, and getting to know people.
