UNC Charlotte

John was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, and pursued his bachelor's degree in Advertising at the University of Alabama. He met his wife, Mary Ann, working in Colorado the summer after his freshman year and they tied the knot in 2014. Shortly after graduation, John and Mary Ann headed west to Norman, Oklahoma so that he could intern with RUF at the University of Oklahoma while Mary Ann finished her degree in Public Relations and Broadcasting. Two years later John was affirmed in his calling to full-time ministry and the pair packed up again to move to Charlotte, North Carolina where John received his Masters of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary. Thanks to Mary Ann paying the bills, John was able to complete the program in three years and is thrilled to stay in Charlotte as the Campus Minister at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. John is a man of many interests and loves riding bikes with Mary Ann, cheering for the Crimson Tide, the Oklahoma City Thunder, whatever team Jalen Hurts currently plays for, and he promises he will beat you at Mario Kart.
