Cole grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and is excited to finally be telling the truth when he tells people he’s “from Chicago.” During his time at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign for his undergrad in Marketing, he became part of the campus ministry Cru where spending time with college students passionate about what God was doing on their campus completely transformed his idea of what it means to live for Christ. Cole is thrilled to be a part of CCI, building Christian community, inviting college students to personally know God, and building young men up in their faith. In his free time, Cole enjoys bouncing from hobby to hobby which at the moment includes rock climbing, playing music, drawing, and reading.
