Meet the youth Pastor

Born and raised in Glen Ellyn, IL, I grew up about 40 minutes outside Chicago. After a series of moves, I've landed in Phoenix. I am excited to be serving in the youth ministry here at Open Door. I am especially excited for the times where I get to see students really take ownership of their faith. While I enjoy the fun and games of a Wednesday night, nothing gets me more excited than sitting down with a student over a cup of coffee or pastry at Panera Bread. When I'm not in the office, I'm probably either cleaning the floor, little pine needles and leafs on the floor are my peeve. Or a more exciting hobby is competition, I don't think I've ever lost a board game.
