I am here for Friends

About Me

My passion in life is being a youth minister - I just LOVE it. I do all kinds of things at church - Confirmation teacher; work retreats; assistant coach for softball, volleyball and soccer; and chaperone many youth functions. The greatest thing about youth ministry is walking the journey with the youth, getting to know the youth and hearing their ideas on different things.I have the best family and friends in the world. My parents have been married for 43 years; i have four wonderful brothers, three great sisters-in-laws and many nieces and nephews that i absolutely love to spoil. I have a best friend that really is a sister to me - love ya chloe - and many wonderful friends that always encourage me.During the working day, I am the copy desk chief at the local newspaper. On my off time, I am either at church hanging out with the youths or I am hanging out with my outstanding friends. ... I guess I just love to have FUN!
