Our Story
Both born and raised in Broken Arrow, OK, we met in high school but didn't start dating until college when Mary was studying nursing at the University of Arkansas and Alex was studying biology and music at the University of Tulsa. It was in college where we both got a more clear picture of what following Jesus looked like, and God began directing us both independently to have hearts for full time ministry.
We married in September of 2011, and knew shortly after our wedding that we wanted to start our lives together doing full time college ministry. While Mary worked as a nurse and Alex worked as a lifeguard, we both actively volunteered in the Cru ministry at the University of Tulsa. Feeling the need to join the Cru ministry full time, we were accepted into staff positions the Summer of 2012. Our first ministry assignment is Bologna Italy, working with students at the University of Bologna. We're excited to be building a team of supporters that will enable us to serve in Bologna, and even more excited to see what God will do in our lives and in the lives of those we meet in the years to come. We also love being parents to our son, Finn, who was born Fall of 2012.
