-Grew up in rural Arkansas. My mom is a loving and caring person was a teacher. Both my parents worked hard. When I got into middle school and high school I learned more about Jesus. I met my wife in college and also found love with college students talking about God. Fast forward now I have four kids and I am still working with college students (forever a college kid).
