Although I am a pure blooded northerner, I have committed the next four years of my life to working in the south with college students. I was hired in November, 2009 as the Campus Outreach director for UNC Charlotte. I believe strongly that college is perhaps the most opportune time for a young man or woman to grow spiritually. I look back to my four years at Davidson College where, thanks to the way God used Campus Outreach in my life, I learned how to pray, how to study the Bible, how to share my faith, and the importance of the local church/the body of Christ.

Through the leadership of the Campus Outreach staff workers at Davidson, I learned how to have a personal ministry in my fraternity and was able to help a number of my peers investigate who Jesus is. I also took a job as an RA my junior year in order to position myself to have a greater impact on the freshman students at Davidson. My senior year, I was privileged to begin discipling two of my fraternity brothers and I also partnered with them in trying to reach the rest of our fraternity.

It was also through CO that I began to catch a vision for world missions. After graduating from Davidson I spent nearly seven months in Puerto Rico participating in a missionary training program. In the last year, I have traveled extensively to places like India, Thailand, Malaysia, and Estonia trying to discern God’s call on my life. After all was said an done, I felt God leading my back here to the Charlotte area to work for Campus Outreach and to glorify God by raising up more laborers on the college campus. My hope and my prayer in working for CO is to see a number of students graduate from our ministry and go into cross-cultural mission work. I am excited to see how God will use Artie, Kristin and I here at Charlotte to impact the nations.
