I grew up hearing my father preach from the pulpit every Sunday. While no stranger to the Bible in my early years, as an adult I am continually amazed at how studying God’s Word inspires and humbles me in every dimension of my life.

Playing club racquetball in college has fueled my passion for the game of pickleball. My family and I enjoy playing with each other and our friends in both casual and competitive environments, and we rarely miss an opportunity to lace up our court shoes and compete.

When I was just eight years old I fell in love with mountain hiking when my family and I traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park for the first time. Since then, I have hiked and backpacked throughout the mountains of Colorado, and I never grow weary of new mountain adventures while hiking, backpacking, and hunting.
