As I finished up my education at Virginia Tech in 1994 I began to pursue joining the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ. I wasn't convinced this was the right path, but I decided to continue down it until roadblocks where placed in my way, but they never came. The next thing I knew I was headed to Orlando, Florida to attend New Staff Training at Rollins College.

Little did I know what I was getting myself into that summer. The summer began with a series of basic seminary classes that were challenging, but enjoyable. After the classes we began learning how to develop ministry partners who would join in supporting the ministry I was embarking on. I wasn't really sure how I was going to do what they were asking, but I was willing to try with the help of God.

When I headed back to Virginia I began the process of finding the team God had for me, hoping to find them quickly. Little did I know God would keep me on that search for 26 months. There were many times in the beginning I considered giving up, but as weeks and months passed I became more resolute in completing the task set before me. In October 1996 I reported to the assignment I had received more than two years before, West Virginia University.

Over the next two years I got to disciple young believers, build relationships with nonbelievers, and have God show me where my real passions and skills were. During my time in Morgantown I began doing more and more of the publicity for the variety of events we held around campus and developed my skills with computers.

My first year on campus was followed by an opportunity to staff a summer project at Daytona Beach, Florida. While I was down there I visited the World Headquarters of Campus Crusade for Christ where I began looking for other opportunities to use the skills God had blessed me with and I had developed at Virginia Tech.

The Office of the President exists to serve the CCC President, his staff and assist the focused ministries of Campus Crusade for Christ. We don’t operate with a “top down” mentality; rather, we come alongside ministries as we seek to answer the question, “What can we do to help make them the most successful?” I like that we don't have an agenda of our own, but that we help individual ministries to achieve their agendas by lending our expertise, giving them greater capacity to focus on what they do best, or to fill gaps temporarily and train local ministries.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to serve the President, his staff and all the ministries of Campus Crusade for Christ.
