My first encounter with YFC was in the Summer of 2005.  I was working at a church in Pekin and Jeff Eagan the Pekin Director came in to tell us about YFC. I remember thinking to myself how great his job sounded and how badly I wanted it.  I began volunteering that Fall.

Other than Jesus, the most influential person in your life:  There was this guy Jason that was a leader in my youth group in high school. He'd always go out of his way to have a meaningful conversation with me.  The relationship I had with him sparked the desire to have the relationships I have with Pekin students today.

Little-known fact about you:  I've lived in Illinois, Florida, Minnesota and Missouri all before the age of 15.
