Vince grew up in the East Bay of California.  He frequents coffee shops around the Metro and considers them his office.  He also loves snowboarding, jogging, fly fishing, and eating out.  Two of his greatest moments of the day is after dinner wrestling with his three kids and spending time talking with his wife.  Ministry is just one part of his life that pours out of a Grandfather who invested spiritually in him as a teen and he marks college as the time he decided to give his old life and new life to Christ.

Richard Daley was born in Trinidad and grew up in Jamaica. In 2000 he moved to Minnesota to attend Macalester College, and graduated with a degree in Computer Science in 2004
 
Since 2000 he’s been involved in several ministries and non-profit/community service endeavors both on and off campus and continues to do so through his involvement with Pilgrim Baptist Church, his job working specifically with non-profits in data management, and his involvement with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship as a volunteer.
 
Richard is interested in both performing and fine arts, and has been involved in a range of activities from printmaking to music to mime. He is most interested in any medium that can be used to tell a story. He is also interested in the effect that culture has on one’s understanding of God and the way that God should affect one’s expression of culture, and longs for the day when God’s will is done on earth as it is heaven.

Miles grew up in Osakis, MN and after spending two years in the Army attended college at the U of M, Morris.  It was there that he became a Christian at the tender age of 26.  His friends from InterVarsity spent the better part of two years inviting him to IV before he finally went, and the rest, as they say, is history!  Miles has a multitude of interests that help him connect with students: astronomy, archery, reading (especially history & science fiction), tinkering with old tractors, mountain climbing, travel, ethnic food, and many more!  Miles just recently married his dream girl, Ann and is the proud “daddy” of two cats…
 
It was during graduate school at SCSU that Miles started volunteering in campus ministry – leading small group Bible studies, disciplining students, coordinating mission trips and so forth.  After experiencing first hand how God can change a person’s life, Miles is passionate about influencing students for, and towards, Jesus Christ.
