While I was at WCU, I got involved with Cru and used and applied my filmmaking gifts for them and produced numerous short videos. It was through Cru that I began to understand that I can use my passions and gifts the Lord has given me for ministry and to further the Kingdom!

After two internships with Cru, I joined staff full-time in 2009, working  with a media and graphics design team to produce video materials and tools that will help students share the Gospel with their friends on campus. 

In 2012, I realized the Lord gave me a passion for Cru staff care and development. One of the benefits of being the man behind the camera is that you get to know the subjects you are filming.

As a result of that,  I had been serving in Cru's international headquarters in Orlando, Florida and part of the leadership team for the headquarters internship program from 2012-2017.

Now I currently help give leadership to the recruitment and development of the New Staff in the Campus Ministry of Cru in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina.

I met my wife, Heather, back in June of 2019 and in less than a year, we were married

Heather currently volunteers her time with another ministry of Cru, FLAG (Freedom and Law Across the Globe),  leading virtual groups of 10-20 attorneys  in the state of Florida.

Many generous partners like you are discovering how to maximize their kingdom impact—not just for Cru, but also for their local church and other ministries—without ever touching their checking or savings accounts. Here are three powerful ways to give strategically:
Stock Gifts – Avoid capital gains and give more.
Donor Advised Fund – Streamline your giving with tax efficiency.
IRA Giving (age 70½+) – Reduce taxable income while advancing the gospel. Cru Foundation is a ministry of Cru designed to serve you with strategic, tax-smart giving solutions at no cost to you. Our mission is to help ensure more of your generosity fuels the Great Commission, not taxes. Click here to learn more and explore your options.
