Personal: Parent is Marne... sibling is Brogan... majoring in Computer Engineering. Reason for coming to TMU: "I came to The Master’s University because the cross country and track team showed a true love for Christ and the Bible. I visited other Christian colleges, but I did not see deep faithfulness to Christ at other schools as I did within the team at TMU. Of course, I was impressed by the coaches, professors, and doctrinal statement, but meeting people on the team sold it for me when I saw how they were living their faith out."
