about sj
I am a native of Chicago, but now reside in the Philadelphia area with my wife Susie and two sons. I graduated from the University of Illinois and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Previously, I served as an intern and assistant pastor of a church plant. My first exposure to RUF was through a church anchoring the ministry at Northwestern University.
From 2014-2020 I was called to plant the RUF chapter at Washington University in St. Louis as the campus minister. Since 2020, I have served as the area coordinator for the Northeast where I work with RUF field staff, presbyteries, and churches to plant and sustain RUF ministries on campuses in the upper mid-Atlantic and New England region.
