Welcome to our Cru staff page, and thank you for visiting it!

Here's a little about us:

We both grew up in Charlotte, NC, but didn't meet until our freshman year at UNC--at a Cru event, funny enough. While in college, the Cru movement and staff members at Carolina helped us experience the grace, truth, and love of Jesus that are central to the Gospel. 

Through our involvement in our Greek chapters, God gave us many opportunities to engage in Gospel-centered conversations with non-believers. These experiences ignited our passion for doing ministry with college students.

A year after graduating, in July of 2016, we got married and have served together with Cru ever since. We spent four years at the University of Tennessee, one year in Prague, Czech Republic, and now we are back in Chapel Hill. 

Riley serves as the co-Team Leader of the UNC Cru team, where he trains staff and does ministry with students. Natalie recently transitioned to Cru's Mission Trip Operations Team, a national team that resources campus movements around the country to send staff and students on Cru Mission Trips around the world. 

We would be honored for you to join us as we reach students for Jesus. Would you prayerfully consider joining our team of ministry partners?
