My Story: I’ve always grown up in a strong Christian home. Even though I grew up in a christian home, it wasn’t until my sophomore year of High School that I truly gave my life to Christ. My parents have always been very supportive of my desire to be involved with ministry. In December 2010 I became a rep for Snowboards For Christ in Southwest MI and in January 2012 I will be attending the Boarders DTS at YWAM Denver. I ride with one purpose, so that I can spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by using the gifts that God has given me. It is my desire that through a Christ-like influence to my fellow shredders they will come to know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ! Those are my brothers and sisters out there on the mountain and I have no other option than to reach out to them. I can’t just sit here and let sin consume their lives when I have the opportunity to share with them what it means to be truly forgiven!
