RIDE NATURE FLORIDA
Hi friends,Hi friends! I am beyond stoked to announce that I have joined the Ride Nature team in Fort Myers, Florida! I moved to southwest Florida when I was eight, and I discovered skateboarding soon after. It was through the kindness and acceptance of people around me that kept me skateboarding and eventually brought me community, adventure and precious memories. Looking back, I can see God’s hand behind it all and He has led me here through skateboarding. From attending Skate Church, hosted by Ride Nature at my local skatepark in Naples, to going on a couple of mission trips, I knew that I wanted to be a part of this family. They introduced me to Jesus not only through Skate Church but by their actions, their love and their acceptance of me. Things that once felt distant were now all around me. I was baptized in 2020 in the Gulf and I’ve been pursuing Jesus since.
I have a background in regenerative farming, where I helped manage a farm run by a non-profit in Colorado, where we provided food for people in need and served the community with nutritious vegetables. I love working with the land but I realized that I love serving people even more. God has been making it clear to me that He wants me working with people that are also serving our Father and that was missing back in Colorado. I believe God has called me here and called me to use the gifts He has given me to glorify Him through running the coffee shop here at Ride Nature Florida. A lot of the people here already feel like family to me and I’m stoked to get to know everyone and you and grow this beautiful faith family.
I’m praying to be fertile soil for God, His word and be able to help spread His word, through serving and loving people well, and telling them about the Good News! Please be praying for me in this new adventure, this new home, and this new chapter of my life.
