In 2001, Brian moved to Missouri to begin serving in campus ministry at both Northwest Missouri State University (Christian Campus House) and Missouri Western State University (Christian Campus Fellowship). In 2003, the ministry at Missouri Western was in need of a full-time campus minister, and Brian moved to St. Joseph to serve in his current position as campus minister for CCF. Brian is a graduate of Central Christian College (‘95), and has served as a youth minister in Des Moines, Iowa and Memphis, Missouri in the 6 years prior to entering campus ministry.

Brian cites the impact of God working in His life while He was a college student as being a primary factor in God leading Him to work with college students today. “As a freshman in college I had what I call a ‘family faith’ but didn’t have any idea what a relationship with God really meant. College life is so much more than just going to class and studies. For the first time, most students are forming ideas and thinking deeply about real issue; ‘who am I, what do I want to do, is there a God, and if so what impact does that have on my life?’ Hopefully we get a chance to talk to students about Jesus and that God makes a real and lasting impact on their life.”
