Major: Bible/Theology
Why OC? God has revealed himself to me through service. I’m hoping to find the Lord’s truth through serving and loving new students!
About me: Both of my parents are Wheaton graduates (as well as a host of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.), and growing up in and around the college was just a part of life. My experience at Wheaton is unique in that, I’ve been around the college since I was little and I came into school knowing a lot about it already. I have a sister who is a junior and two younger siblings who are surefire Wheaties at some point. I hope to be involved in some type of urban ministry, post-college. For now, I’m all about the bros.
Why Wheaton? Being united under a similar interest and mindset with over 2000 other people is a very special thing. The name of Jesus is glorified through the love between students.
Favorite place on campus: Any room in Traber that has a couch worth sleeping on.
Describe Wheaton in three words: My favorite place
Favorite Wheatonism: Any of the ten million different acronyms that I always forget.
Most memorable experience at Wheaton: Starting a bible study with 3 other guys who are a part of YoungLife and growing together throughout the first semester.
What makes Wheaton unique: The amount of people that are genuinely interested and invested in your life and your development as a follower of Christ.
Favorite CU/campus event: The square dance or NEEDTOBREATHE concert!!
What person at Wheaton has had the greatest impact on you? Baxter Helm and John Torppey have been constant sources of encouragement and graciousness, teaching me through their example what it means to be a man of God with a heart for people and prayer.
