Andrew Von Essen
Coordinator of Nexus Student Ministries
Andrew grew up in Seattle, but moved to Georgia in 1994 and immediately started attending Collins Hill High School here in Suwanee. Upon graduation he started working full time and attending Georgia Perimeter College, where he earned his Associates in Psychology in 2003. Andrew spent 9 years at Reliable Automatic Sprinkler wearing many hats including: operations, customer service and sales. In 2007, he joined several friends from Sugarloaf UMC at Displayit, where he serves as Operations Manager. Before coming to Connection Church, Sugarloaf UMC was his church home for over ten years and it is where his faith became a daily part of his life. Andrew, his wife, Jennifer, and their two girls, Anastasia and Ellie are looking forward to being a part of this exciting ministry as it grows into God's plan.
