I grew up in Dunwoody, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia studying engineering.

When I arrived at UGA, the year was 2020 and the COVID pandemic closed off many of the opportunities to make new friends and memories usually available. At this time, I was also grappling with doubts about Christianity and a hole in my heart from a lack of community.

Then RUF found me. To me, RUF was not just a college ministry but a life-altering experience. It introduced me to the true character of Jesus. I first got involved in spring of freshman year  through a small group a hall-mate invited me to. In this group of 20 guys, God revealed to me his true self. I was surrounded by guys my age who made it clear Jesus was the Christ, by their care, forgiveness, unwavering belief in scripture, and the indescribable joy they derived from the gospel.

RUF helped me understand the Bible, how to walk with Jesus, the beauty of the local church and what my purpose and identity is in this life.

Because of my story,  I want to be the RUF Intern at the University of Central Florida
