Meet Steve


Hey guys! Steve here. I am getting really excited for our time together in August. I'd like to take this chance to tell you a little bit about myself.

I grew up in Suffolk, VA (Virginia Born and Bred!). I have two brothers (one older, one younger). I went to Norfolk Christian High School and graduated in 2002. I was not involved in YL in high school. When I graduated high school I went to Virginia Tech for college (Go Hokies!)

Originally I wanted to study Computer Science at VT. But I quickly learned that I hated math. I changed my major abruptly to study movies. I led YL in college at Christiansburg High School and graduated in 2006. When I graduated, I stayed in the area and went on YL staff in Giles County. After two years of being on staff in Giles County, I took the Area Director job in Rockbridge County, VA. Yes, Rockbridge the camp is in the county I do YL in!

I married my wife Theresa 2.5 years ago.  Here is a picture at our wedding. Yes that is an arc of fire being spit over our heads as we left. Theresa actually works full time at Rockbridge in the office. We met 7 summers ago at Rockbridge when she was on SS and I was the video intern.
 














We have a giant Great Dane named Mogadore. She loves to get into trouble. Here is a picture of her:














Things I love: Pizza, coffee, popcorn, Lexington, the Yankees, Virginia Tech and the Redskins.

Really looking forward to being together.

Meet Nicki



Hello, Nicki here.  I will keep this short, so here is a little bit about me in a nutshell.  I am on staff in Norfolk, VA.  I graduated from JMU in 2008...(go dukes!!!!) where I led Young Life for 2.5 years.  I eventually ended up back in Norfolk in May 2009 and jumped right into leading under my former YL leader.  I have been on staff here for 3 years and love doing ministry in my hometown.  I am married to Brandon who is a Georgia boy through and through and we have an awesome crazy dog named Syd.  Can't wait to meet all of you guys!
