Q: Where did you attend college?
A: B.A. in Political Science from the University of Michigan

What year did you join MBCA? 
A: 2018

What do you love about MBCA? 
A: The people! 

What is your all-time favorite sports team? 
A: Michigan Wolverines

What is your favorite Bible verse, and why? 
A: Second half of John 14:27 - "Let not your heart be troubled; neither let them be afraid." Jesus teaches us that His kingdom is not of this world, and that through His sacrifice, we have a place in it and with Him. What on earth (literally) is there to be afraid of? Fear is for the faithless. 

What are three fun facts about yourself?
A: I am a retired Marine Corps tanker. I love scuba diving, although I haven't done it in quite awhile. Prior to retiring from the Marines in 2009 and moving to Georgia, the longest I had lived anywhere in my life was five years in Connecticut (from 8th grade through high school). 

What is your favorite book? 
A: Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
