Curtis Edwards, Area DirectorI am from Lee's Summit, and currently live in the Historic Northeast of Kansas City. My wife, Rachel, teaches kindergarten in the city and my daughter, Zion, is the most adorable human around. I met Jesus through Young Life as a freshman at Lee's Summit North High School, and went on to volunteer lead for 4 years before youth pastoring at my own church. The core of Young Life is caring adults showing up in the life of kids. I am someone whose life is dramatically different because of a caring person showing up for me and pointing me to Jesus. It is a privilege to now be one of those people.

Gabe Kiakojori, Volunteer LeaderHey! My Name is Gabe, I am from Lee's Summit and Graduated from LSN. I work at a collision repair shop. I like to think I’m good at working on cars, but there is always something new to learn. I got into Younglife, because I love any excuse to share the Gospel and truth about God to people who aren’t familiar with it.
