Married to Lexi, dad to Adley, Laila, Ryder & Greta. I'm a Colorado native, love running, sparkling water, sports, and traveling the world. I dislike noisy candy wrappers and the wind.
I've enjoyed entrepreneurial adventures and pastoring over the last two decades. There is an open door for the Father in every culture!

I love living in Colorado with my beautiful wife and 2 incredible kiddos. Working in the yard, reading westerns, summer BBQing, adventuring with my kids, eating good food with my wife, bold coffee and hot sauce are several of my favorite things. In the words of famed Nacho Libre, "I luv my lyyfe."
Additionally, with 10+ years of management experience, degrees in psychology and spiritual formation & soul care, I'm passionate about helping both people and systems operate according to their highest potential.
I love the camaraderie, creativity, spiritedness, and genuine care of our department and am enthusiastic about championing leaders to live their unique calling.

Born and raised in Minnesota, my life has always been about competition. My favorite sports to play include soccer and basketball. I am an avid fan of the Minnesota Vikings, the Timberwolves, and Liverpool. I studied economics at Wheaton College where my heart for the nations grew rapidly.
After a summer internship in Zambia, I thought I would devote years of my life to work in Africa. I mean have you seen Victoria Falls?!? Well, things changed pretty quickly because I led a couple of Engage trips to China and I stayed there for 3 years before marrying Meagan. We both love teaching, culture, and impacting leaders. I even got engaged in China and now we live in Chicago. Life takes some crazy turns! I love my current role because I get to connect with amazingly gifted people that have a heart for the things I am passionate for.

Hi there, I’m Michelle. I love slow mornings, coffee, and intentional conversation. I believe everyone has a story and I want to hear it. On my day off you can find me strolling through the local thrift shop and picking out the *perfect* oversized jacket. I’m a Nebraska native and a nomad at heart. Want to learn more about my passion for positioning people to make a difference? Let’s chat!

Now this is a story all about how
I ended up where I am now
I'd like to take a minute so you can see
How I became a Candidate Advisor with ELIC
In northern Colorado, born and raised
In the mountains is where I spent most of my days
Then I went to eastern Europe where I met my wife
We moved to Chicago, what a crazy life!
I got an Intercultural Studies degree
and a passion for helping people get overseas
So back to Colorado went my family and me
and I've been serving ever since here at ELIC
I like to hang out with my two little boys
Always getting into trouble and making lots of noise
I like to keep aquariums and read a good book
I like to write sometimes and I'm a pretty good cook
Fun Fact
I have about 2,000 followers on Pinterest. Don't act like you're not impressed.

Early in our relationship, my wife, Katrina, and I decided to intentionally place ourselves in positions and circumstances that required faith. We wanted to learn dependency and lose the perceived control we felt over our lives. Shortly after coming to this agreement, we signed up to serve with ELIC in China and got to experience his providence firsthand over the proceeding years. We loved it, a seed was planted, and a heart for Asia was born. Since 2003 we have remained with the organization in a variety of roles both domestic and foreign. We have three TCKs and have loved seeing their hearts for other cultures grow.
These days, if you're looking for me, check a coffee shop, trail, basketball court, or kitchen table set with the latest board game.

I am a Colorado Native and I am passionate about all things outdoors. A few of my favorites are tubing down the river, camping, hiking, skiing, and riding mopeds. I love adventure and the stunning beauty we encounter in nature. I completed my Undergrad in Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University and my Masters in Biblical Studies at Vision Christian Bible College and Seminary.
I have spent the past couple of years mentoring kids and teens with a real passion for helping others see their true identity and mobilizing them in their purpose.
These days, if you are looking for me, check local coffee shops, the mountains, or just follow the laughter.

Hello there! I was born and raised in the Denver area and still can’t get enough of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains! In 2016, I moved to Fort Collins to attend “The Harvard of the West Side of the Mississippi River”... Colorado State University and fell in love with all that Northern Colorado has to offer. I graduated in 2020 with a B.A. in Communication Studies. I have a heart for non-profit organizations that make a global and local impact. I am motivated to build relationships, encourage, support, and be a calming presence for men and women who are interested in serving with ELIC.
Also…
When I am not at work, you will probably find me jamming out to John Mark McMillan or Lord Huron at a local coffee shop or winning an online chess game. I am an avid Denver sports fan (which has its highs and lows) who enjoys golf, movies, podcasts, quality time with family and friends, and shouting Jeopardy! answers from my living room. I occasionally get it right.

Youngest of 5 siblings! Aunt to 2 beautiful spunky nieces and 1 smiley active nephew. I am a Canadian gal, who grew up in beautiful British Columbia. Moved to Saskatchewan to the land of the living skies for University. While studying Linguistics, Psychology, and TESOL at Briercrest Bible College and playing Basketball and Soccer (Go Clippers!). I fell in love with teaching, leadership, people, and exploring different cultures. I then made my way back to BC to teach and coach at TWU, and of course hike and camp in the Mountains. I'll take any opportunity to adventure, thrift, get competitive in playing sports/board games, and eat at the best brunch spot around!
Last seen cliff jumping in Northern Ireland and sipping coffee in Sweden.
My passion for people, their stories, and their unique giftings give me excitement as I head out to find individuals who want to live a life of impact! I want to encourage you, walk alongside you, and challenge you as you act in faith and take action in delivering the message of hope, love, and peace.

Wearing a flying squirrel costume on Leap Day of 2020, I proposed to my girlfriend in a coffee shop (shout out to Beaver Falls Coffee and Tea), and she took a leap of faith and said yes. Now we live as husband and wife a block away from the very same shop. While attending Geneva College, I studied Biblical Languages and fell in love with the world through cross-cultural opportunities to study and travel overseas during the summer between my sophomore and junior years. Now I am blessed with the opportunity to encourage others to expand their horizons via living and working overseas! In addition to loving this incredible world and the cultures that populate it, I also have a deep passion for tennis and ping pong. Whether it’s finding a peaceful rhythm, or battling it out in the heat of competition, I am always excited for an opportunity to swing away!

Wife to Hayden and pet-mom to Paco, Lupe, and Sophie, I am a Southern California native with a heart that beats for connecting people to the Father’s heart for them and the nations. I am passionate about leadership, relationships, living a life that requires faith, coffee shops, and any and every animal that will allow me into its life.
While studying World Religions, Leadership, and TESOL at Azusa Pacific University I have come to see there is no greater joy in life than connecting people to purpose and Hope.
