I work for the CRC's Communication office as the Online Community and Content Manager. The majority of my role will be right here on The Network with some work with The Banner and social media in general. So I guess my role is to highlight CRCNA content FTW (Facebook, Twitter and Web). I grew up in Chicago, IL (Go Bears) and but now live in West Michigan. My wife Kelley and I have two children: Javen (6) and Kendall (3).
My favorite colors are red and blue and orange
