Ethan was raised in a single-parent household by his mother. He also has two sisters. He graduated from Hoover High School in 2018 but throughout high school, worked at Tiger Rock Martial Arts teaching Tae Kwon Do learning self-discipline, leadership, and growing the next generation of leaders.

Ethan accepted Jesus as his Lord and savior in 2020. While looking for affirmation and struggling with his identity, a friend invited him to Church of the Highlands. It was in an “At The Movies” service where just being in God’s presence he found the love he had always been looking for. In April of 2021, Ethan was Baptized and then met Jody Trautwien who invited him to serve with Priority Kids at Helena Elementary. After serving there for a little over a year, the Lord called him back to Hoover High School to start a First Priority club. During his time volunteering with our ministry, Ethan earned a degree in Ministry Leadership from Highlands College.

Ethan's passion is for this generation, to build a solid foundation of Christ in students to help put them on the path of success and bring their true God given identity.
