Growing up within the United Methodist Camp & Retreat Ministry played a large role in who I am today. After getting the chance to experience multiple different camps as a camper, I joined the Summer Staff as a Kitchen Boy at Camp Penn, in Waynesboro, PA. I would spend the next 4 Summers working at Camp Penn, growing relationships with others who have been molded by camp ministry, and fostering a passion for Camp & Retreat Ministry. Following my graduation from Shippensburg University I took a job in sales and worked weekends at Mount Asbury Retreat Center while volunteering a couple of weeks at Camp Penn. Following a few years of that arrangement I attended and eventually graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary, moving into a 3 church appointment where I would serve 5 years, connecting in with the ministry opportunities at Wesley Forest in Weikert, PA. While that time was fun and formational, I knew I wasn’t quite where I needed to be serving and so I began a year and half process of applying to and interviewing for full-time Camp & Retreat Ministry opportunities across the US. That is what brought me to Twinlow Camp & Retreat Center here in Northern Idaho.
When I am not working at camp, I spend my time in a few different ways: (1) fishing/hunting (2) hiking (3) camping (4) enjoying sporting events (5) hanging out with God’s creations. You may find me experiencing new things with my wife, Kathryn, and/or our dog, Cooper, by my side. I have long found that my connection with our Creator happens easiest for me when I am out and enjoying/appreciating what God has created. That and a whole lot more combine to make me extremely excited and blessed to be serving as your Director at Twinlow Camp & Retreat Center.
Because of what I have witnessed and experienced within Camping Ministry, I hold firmly to the belief that camp needs to be a place where EVERYONE has the opportunity to truly experience the beauty and love of our Lord. So I hold it as my goal to make sure Twinlow is a place where EVERYONE and ANYONE can experience the beauty and love of our God.
