Born and raised in Fort Collins, I couldn’t be happier to be serving in my home town. I’ve been blessed to travel to over 30 countries, in many of which I served in missions. I served as a Bible teacher for 2 years and just finished my Master of Arts degree at Southern Evangelical Seminary this past spring. Now I am extremely excited to continue as the Ratio Christi Chapter Director at CSU for the 6th year and step in as the Area Ministry Director position for Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. Bearded Disciple expands ministry to an endless possibility of influence online.

We live in a time and place that makes it extremely hard for Christians to know how to navigate issues Biblically. Often Christians lack solid Biblical training resulting in them supporting non-Biblical doctrines or being afraid to engage in certain issues. Questions that have long since been answered are also questions we are unequipped to deal with despite available resources. It breaks my heart to know that people dismiss or abandon Christianity because they themselves were not well-equipped or Christians they've talked with weren’t prepared.

"If we compare campus ministry at CSU to a soccer team, I see Ratio Christi as our goalie. They operate under different circumstances and are highly specialized. “Apologia,” the word at the root of apologetics, means defense. And that’s what Ratio Christi does, defending the gospel with love and humility. And we are thankful they’re on our team." – Austin Ballard, Impact Ministries at Colorado State

My ministry with Ratio Christi and Bearded Disciple works to equip, train and empower everyone from ministry leaders to non-believers to understand, defend, and explain the Christian worldview. This so they may know Christ more and navigate the difficult questions and issues of our time as well as answer the age old questions that lead people away from Christ. Put simply, we want to be another tool in the toolbox of ministries and individuals.

I am working to help grow our four Ratio Christi chapters in Colorado to well over 20 members each, and adding new chapters at other universities. We have hopes and dreams to expand into high school Ratio Christi clubs, and even arrange field and mission trips for college and high school ministries. I am also looking to create at least one new video and podcast each week. Would you consider partnering with me in this ministry?

My goal is to have 37 individuals invest in my ministry at $100 a month. Will you please join me?
