Samantha hails from Seattle, Washington. She has lived and worked all over the world but has been in the DC area off and on since 2008. She grew up in a Christian family and came to know the Lord as her Savior at an early age. She met and married Ryan in college and together they have four rambunctious kiddos who keep them busy, humble, and joy-filled. Sam has spent most of her adult life working and serving in churches and parachurch ministries, in a wide variety of roles. She currently works part-time with Three Roots International, bringing the gospel in word and deed to rural, impoverished Ethiopia. Sam and Ryan are thankful to call Trinity home and to serve in the hospitality ministry.
