KYLE NELSON    // Foss High School Cty Life //

I was born in Seattle, Washington on May 2nd 1979. I grew up with two brothers and mom and dad in Lakewood, Washington. At the age of seventeen I gave my life to Christ at a Young Life camp in Canada. I graduated from Lakes High School in 1997 and went on to study for a ministry degree at Central Christian College of McPherson, Kansas. While in college I played for the college soccer team and was highly involved in the arts: drama, choir, and singing in a quintet. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in ministry in 2001. After graduation I returned to the greater Tacoma area where I met my lovely wife Lauren. We married in 2004 and have one daughter named Kyah born Januray 1st 2008.

I spent four years in the business world working for Pepsi Bottling Group, marketing companies and even spent a year selling cars. In 2005 my wife, Lauren, and I decided it was time to chase after our hearts desire; to minister to students on their own turf by doing campus ministry. After three years of campus ministry, two of which I have spent growing a ministry at Henry Foss High School. I am currently functioning as the Director of City Life and Campus Life at Henry Foss High School.
