Peter Shaner
Peter grew up in Lexington, VA, and attended college at Randolph-Macon College where he led Young-Life and played on the golf team for 4 years. In Charlotte, he met his wife, Sam, and attended Reformed Theological Seminary. For 4 years, Peter served as Campus Ministry Assistant with RUF at Clemson University where they welcomed their daughter, Harper, into the world. The Shaners are grateful and excited to reach and equip college students in Milwaukee for the sake of the Gospel.
McKenna (Coartney) Smith
McKenna Coartney grew up surrounded by cornfields in the small town of Eureka, Illinois. She attended the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and graduated in December 2022 with her bachelor's degree in dance and psychology. The Lord graciously provided her with a connection to RUF UWM during her first week of school, and throughout college, RUF allowed McKenna to experience the freedom found within the beauty of the gospel. She is so ecstatic to have the opportunity to serve the students at Middle Tennessee State University and to be able to finally experience life in the South. McKenna enjoys dancing, paddleboarding, painting, drinking coffee, hiking, lifting, and pretty much anything else that allows her to be outside.
