I have had the privilege of serving with Adult & Teen Challenge for over 28 years—four years in Arkansas and, since 2002, in Oklahoma. My journey with ATC began after being impacted through visits to the Dallas and Midland, Texas centers. I felt a deep calling, one that grew stronger as I got older, eventually leading me to serve full-time.

Over the years, I’ve taken on many roles including teacher, counselor, intake coordinator, court liaison, assistant director, and program director. I’ve helped build GED programs, trained staff, and led audit preparations. I also have experience in outreach, recovery ministry, hospital work, and pastoring.

As a former student at the Florida ATC, I experienced God’s transformative power firsthand. I helped in the office and with the GED program, and it deepened my calling.

I love meeting people, learning new skills, and finding strength through challenges. My hope for every student is that they grow in God, prepare for real life, and know they are loved. My vision is to expand outreach, especially in prisons, and to equip others to carry the torch. I believe in overcoming hardships—and I don’t give up.
