Years on Board / Positions: Since 2025; Board Member
Family: Wife Abby

Why I Serve:
My connection to Wonderland Camp began through my grandparents, who own a lake house on Miller Circle. Because of that, I’ve been aware of the camp and its mission for as long as I can remember. When Paul and Jill Wilke later became neighbors of my grandparents, I had the opportunity to learn more about the programs, events, and experiences the camp provides. What began as a general awareness grew into a deeper appreciation for the impact Wonderland Camp has on campers and families. When Jill shared there was an opportunity to serve on the Board, I was honored and excited. I’m grateful for the chance to contribute and look forward to supporting the continued growth and success of the camp.

Hobbies & Notes:
Enjoys spending time with family and friends and being outdoors—especially hunting, fishing, and spending time at the lake. Also enjoys watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball and Missouri State football.
