I love working at Hesston College.
I am starting my first year as an Admissions Counselor at Hesston College. However, prior to this I was a Resident Director for six years here at HC. Both my wife and I graduated from Hesston College and my wife has re-enrolled in our amazing Nursing program and will be a new student this fall.

A little bit more about myself. I am a huge movie buff. Also, I enjoy watching NCIS with my wife. I enjoy football, basketball, baseball, soccer and disc golf.

I have a passion for Hesston College and look forward to helping anyone interested get on campus for a visit so they can have the Hesston College Experience.

Quotes:
Idaho is a lot like Colorado except nobody showed up.
- Eric Wichert

Here it and forget it,
See it and remember it,
Do it and understand it.
- Chinese Proverb

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later, so... yeah.'
- Mitch Hedberg

Failure is always an option.
- Mythbusters

The truth of the matter is, we all come to prayer with a tangled mass of motives--altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. Frankly, this side of eternity we will never unravel the good from the bad, the pure from the impure. But what I have come to see is that God is big enough to receive us with all our mixture. We do not have to be bright, or pure, or filled with faith, or anything. That is what grace means, and not only are we saved by grace, we live by it as well. And we pray by it.
- Richard J. Foster, Prayer

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
- Abraham Lincoln
