More About Me

I currently serve as the Assistant Track and Field Coach at Hannibal Lagrange University.  I have been competing in Track & Field for over 17 years.  I have tried to use the talents and abilities that the Lord has given me to honor Him.  I have had some success along the way by winning several National Championships and competing with some of the best athletes in the World - always with the dream of someday making it to the Olympics.  I don't know if that day will ever come, but I place it in God's hands to see where He leads me.

As a Christian I've always wanted to stand out, be BOLD, be a disciple for Jesus, and spread the Word just like He did.  However, to be honest, I've never been very good with words and going up to people to tell them about Jesus.  So I figured if I can't say it, then I sure can show it and live it out through my actions.  I now wear a shirt that tells those around me what I'm all about and why/who I am competing for.  Ultimately making it to the Olympics doesn't really have a lot of value in God's eyes or any kind of eternal worth.  It is all about bringing more people to accept Jesus into their lives.  This is my, and hopefully your, “True Goal.” 

This is why my wife and I started this ministry - we want to get these shirts out to open more doors and opportunities to spread God's Word.  I have started a ministry that is encouraging our student athletes to share the gospel as they compete in meets across the Midwest.  We are making an impact for Christ on and off the playing field “one t-shirt at a time.”
