For as long as I can remember, God has placed a desire on my heart to find the lonely, seek the lost, and love anyone He brings across my path. That journey took a major step forward in February 2017.I hopped on a plane to Israel, where I lived with John Farwell (see top picture) and his family for three months. While serving as a basketball coach, baseball coach, and assistant teacher at a missionary school, God began stirring a clear vision in me: to use sport as a tool to make disciples.From 2019 to 2021, while studying at NC State, that vision continued to grow. Through Athletes in Action, I had the opportunity to lead Bible studies, be discipled, return to Israel with John for a one-month basketball tour, and serve post-college as a volunteer for two years.After five years of serving as a student and volunteer, it became clear that God was calling me to take the next step—I officially joined AIA staff in July 2023. In March 2024, I began my first assignment at the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan. While serving in Michigan, I knew I was exactly where God wanted me. Then came a call that would change everything.In September 2024, I was promoted to International Basketball Specialist. By January 2025, I moved to Xenia, Ohio, to join the Athletes in Action Headquarters, where our team is building the next phase of AIA’s International Basketball Ministry.I truly believe this is the desire God planted in my heart back in 2017. I’m excited to keep following Him—step by step—for His glory!
