I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I lived there until 10th grade and then I moved to Traverse City, Michigan to be closer to family. (I still remain a huge Ohio State fan however). The move was extremely tough but through it I developed a much stronger faith. I have an older brother, Ben and an older sister, Lauren. Ben is 23. He is in the army and just returned from 15 months in Iraq in September. Lauren is 21 and is a senior at Calvin College. I started out at Michigan State University but am hoping to finish off school at Wheaton College. I plan to major in Business and eventually go into law.
