About Us

Throughout our college years, the staff and students of Cru led us to deepen our relationships with God, trust Him with our lives, and make Him known to others. We can truly say our lives were changed by God through the ministry of Cru.

Chris is an Iowan at heart. Chris attended the University of Iowa where his involvement with Cru had a tremendous impact on his spiritual growth. Chris has served with Cru since graduating in 1998 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. His first three years on staff were at his alma matter, then at Iowa State University for five years, and now Boston. For fun Chris enjoys golfing, hiking, disc golf, traveling, ultimate frisbee, cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes (especially football), and fixing things around the house.

Originally from Texas, Kim made her way to Boston to attend Wellesley College. In her freshman year, Kim became a Christian through the ministry of Cru. Kim graduated from Wellesley with a degree in Russian Area Studies, and has served with Cru since 1996 in Boston and for one year in Central Asia. Kim enjoys reading, dancing, traveling, hiking, cooking, and relaxing a nice warm beach!

We have two wonderful daughters, Emma and Clara. They are blessings from the Lord and bring much joy to our lives! We are excited about serving God together as a family in Boston. We are convinced the university is one of the most strategic mission fields on earth—if we reach the campus today, we can reach the world tomorrow!
