Lincoln Hoover is the founder and president of the Landon Leighton Memorial Foundation,
Raised in Clio, Michigan, Lincoln comes from an accomplished and hard-working family that taught him the value of perseverance, humility, and compassion. From a young age, he developed a deep love for people and a desire to make their lives better, a passion that continues to drive everything he does.
Guided by his faith and his heart for others, Lincoln often says, “If even one person sees the love of Jesus because of what we’re doing, then every ounce of effort is worth it.” That belief shapes the way he leads, serves, and lives
Lincoln is known for his selfless dedication and genuine heart for service. Whether volunteering in his community, leading foundation projects, or personally helping families in need, he pours himself fully into every opportunity to make a difference. His greatest motivation is not recognition or success but seeing others find hope, joy, and peace through the love of Jesus.
A 4.0 student at Rochester Christian University studying Financial Planning, Lincoln strives to live every day with purpose, gratitude, and faith, using his gifts to serve, uplift, and inspire others.
