I am married to my beautiful wife Jessica. We have 3 amazing kiddos; Gavin, Jayce and Emma. I drink way too much coffee, love a good dad joke, and love everything to do with sports. (Except duke). I have been on staff at Upward since July of 2017, and absolutely love being a part of the Upward Family!

Hi! I’m Megan and I joined the Upward team in 2025. It’s a joy to get to serve as the Children’s Director at Upward West! I'm married to the best, Adam, and we have 5 awesome kids - Caleb, Lydia, Sadie, Lukas, and Judah! I’m always thankful for these beautiful Appalachian mountains, reading, hiking, coffee, a good ribeye, WWII novels, and Creation (except for spiders or really, anything that has more than 4 legs)! I’m passionate about learning, organizing, nourishing meals, all things missions, and home educating our kids.
