Where are you from? Hot Springs Village, AR

What activities were you involved with at JBU? Worked at KLRC, was active in ESCAPE (ministry to junior high students) and Intramurals.

Major in college? Broadcasting

Why are you working at JBU? First off, I love college campuses! It didn't take long for me to realize after graduating from JBU that I would jump at the chance to come back. JBU is a place that authentically pursues Christ and serves the community around it…who wouldn't want to be working at JBU?

What is your favorite thing to do in NWA? Catch a JBU game (any sport) or Northwest Arkansas Naturals game. Point is…I like sports. There are also a lot of outdoor opportunities that make NWA a great place to live (hiking, mountain biking, etc.)

What are some movies you enjoy? The classic 80's movies are always good (Lost Boys, Red Dawn, Stand by Me, Goonies, Teen Wolf, etc.) If we are talking mini-series too, I'd go with Band of Brothers.

What's one word or phrase that describes you? Shootfire

What quick advice would you give an incoming JBU student? This isn't admissions related, but oh well.  Life is much simpler if you live by 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18…be joyful, pray, and give thanks.  Don't make things too complicated.

Describe your family: I'm not married, so I guess my family would include my parents in Fayetteville, AR and one younger brother in Fayetteville; an older brother and his wife in Arlington, TX; and an older sister with her husband and three kids in Hockley, TX.
