I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin where my parents and four younger siblings still live. I grew up going to a Covenant church and attended the Solid Rock School of Discipleship after I graduated high school. I graduated from North Park University with a degree in Biblical & Theological Studies and Psychology. All throughout high school and college, I worked at various churches helping to lead worship. As well as a Worship Leader at LCC, I am also currently interim director of youth ministry at North Park Covenant Church.
