I was born in Colorado, left there when I was 3 and have been moving around ever since.  When we left Colorado, we moved to Hong Kong to be missionaries…or at least my parents were missionaries; I was just along for the ride.  After we left Hong Kong, I moved around quite a bit until I graduated high school and left for university.  After graduating from Liberty University I moved to Marietta, Georgia, where I lived until I moved to Burkina Faso in January 2011.

I love God with all my heart and the decisions I make in life are because of this. Understanding this will help people understand me and the way I choose to live my life. I also love my family and friends and love hanging out with them whenever I can. I enjoy life and love a good laugh. I can usually be found with a smile on my face and have become known as “smiley” to some. I try to live life with no regrets – making the most of every minute!
