Most Embarrassing Moment: "While sitting in the front row of my former church in Kingsburg my Freshman year of college, I fell fast asleep. Not just any sleep either, a vast, deep, dreamy sleep. God must have thought that I really needed to hear the sermon that morning because he woke me to the sound of my own Bible (a huge, fat study Bible that weighs more than most babies) miraculously flying through the air and landing in the middle of the center isle directly in front of the pulpit. Ya...I felt really lame..."

Interesting Fact: Jeff worked at a Christian camp for 2 years where his nickname was "Draino" because he clogged 4 out of the 5 toilets in the men's restroom in one day.

A Bit About Jeff: Jeff was born and raised in a Swedish village called Kingsburg in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. He accepted Jesus Christ as his savior at a very young age and attended the Evangelical Covenant Church of Kingsburg until his freshman year of college. There isn't enough space to detail his spiritual journey, but he says, "Its been a wild ride from day one!"

After graduating from Kingsburg High School in 2002, Jeff became a Bulldog and attended Fresno State for 4 years. He graduated in May of 2006 with a degree in Music Education. Although God did many amazing things in his life prior to college, the largest and most significant spiritual growth in Jeff's life took place in his college years. Starting college with aspirations of becoming a High School band director, God quickly shifted gears and showed him that he was called to full time Ministry.

Since graduating in May, Jeff plans to "Rock it out for Jesus...no pun intended" for a year as College Intern and then begin working in full time ministry while attending seminary pursuing a Masters of Divinity degree.

What Does Jeff Do as College Intern? Jeff helps the college pastor, Josh Hawley, oversee the college ministry at The Bridge. His duties include speaking, leading worship, coordinating campus ministry, administrative preparation and student networking, just to name a few. As college intern, Jeff is basically a college pastor in training.
