I grew up riding dirt bikes but gave them up when I went off to college to play basketball. Now after nearly 30 years of coaching high school basketball, and after 5 years as the Area Director for Central and Eastern Oregon FCA, God has drawn me back to motorsports as a platform to make disciples who make disciples. In the role of PNW (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska) Director of Motorsports. Through FCA’s ministry model of being used by God to connect peoples’ passions for their sport to their relationship with Him. My team seeks to be used by the Holy Spirit to connect to people with a passion for motorsports and disciple them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.

Grew up in San Diego, CA playing football and lacrosse. I would heavily pursue football with the goal of playing in college and would eventually end up at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. After a year there, the school itself was not the right fit and I  would transfer to The College of Idaho in Caldwell to play both football and lacrosse on scholarship. My football career was riddled with injuries while my lacrosse career was plenty fruitful. In my time with the C of I lacrosse program, we qualified for two national tournaments, made an appearance in the Final Four, and would reach national ranking of #5 my senior year before COVID ultimately cancelled our season 2 games in. After college, I focused my energy into the hobbies I grew up doing, which was riding dirt bikes and mountain bikes really started to build a good community of friends to ride with here in Idaho. One of those friends would invite me to be a Huddle Leader with him for motocross at the All Sports camp in 2022. That camp got me hooked and made my wheels turn trying to think of other ways we could do community outreach through moto. In early 2024, Ken Lewis and Randy Hutchins approached me about becoming more involved with FCA and I felt a pulling on my heart to use my love for Jesus and share it through a sport that is greatly influenced by the things of this world.

My love for the outdoors started young. I would always joke with my friends saying "I was raised by Boy Scouts". My dad was the troop leader and my brother went on to be an Eagle scout and I would get to tag along on all of their adventures. I was also raised in a family of swimmers and swam throughout college. It was in college that I heard the Gospel and began my relationship with God! I have loved working with college athletes, sharing the Gospel, discipling young women and more! I am so excited to use my love for creativity to serve God on the PNW Outdoors & Motorsports team!

Growing up as a pastor’s kid, the church was always home to me. I may not have understood it then, but I know now—community changes everything.

I played soccer throughout my childhood and into high school, later adding golf along the way. Being part of a team taught me the value of strong friendships and pursuing Jesus together. When you’re surrounded by a community rooted in faith, you can withstand anything life throws your way.

In 2015, I married my husband, and soon after we stepped into youth pastoring. During that season, we connected with FCA and began leading a Huddle in the city where we grew up. We’ve now been volunteering with FCA for over eight years and have continued sowing into the ministry since 2023. We love FCA’s vision and mission, but most of all, its heart for FAMILY.

When we’re not serving, you can find our family on the farm in the Woodland Bottoms, riding dirt bikes and loving Jesus together.

Nathan grew up in Estacada, Oregon, started racing motocross at age 5. Raced professionally for roughly a year after turning 17 which would have been 2007, after sustaining a shattered femur I decided it was time to get a real job and start thinking about the future. In 2016 I married My wonderful wife sam. We had our first child in 2017. Shortly after that We both decided we wanted to start reading the bible and going to church. After a couple years of attending church and reading the bible I felt god putting it on my heart to spread the good news at the motocross track. During our first event I was approached by a man from FCA he told me what FCA was all about and if it was something I would be interested in and I couldn’t have been more excited about the opportunity to work with other Christians helping spread god’s word to athletes. Right now, I am 34 years old I the lord has blessed me with 3 amazing children an amazing wife, I’m a construction worker and Christmas tree farmer I enjoy fellowship, spending time with my family, snowboarding, camping, hunting, riding dirt bikes and jet skis.

Philippians 4:13 keeps me motivated.
