Favorite Memory Here at Fox
There are too many to list ... some funny and some serious. The first one that comes to mind is being in chapel worshiping with our community. Listening to students worshiping our Creator is one of many aspects that affirms to me that God is real and present in our community!
Favorite place to hang out in Portland/Newberg

Hobbies or other interesting facts
I enjoy the outdoors, basketball, and running. Something many people do not know about me ... my greatest passion is building and racing circle track stock cars. It's been a dream of mine since I was about 5 years old.

Favorite Scripture Verse
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
