I am a United States Marine who gave my life to Christ in January. Since then, I’ve been serving as a youth leader at my church, helping lead weekly “Crew Nights” every Wednesday where we mentor and guide students in their walk with Jesus.

Each year, our church hosts a 4-day Encounter Camp designed to give young people a powerful opportunity to grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and deepen their understanding of Christ. This camp has a lasting impact on the lives of the students who attend, and I’m honored to be a part of it.
