Lexi: Email 

Brian and Lexi are the campus directors for the Navigator ministry at IU.  Brian and Lexi initially met through The Navigators in college, reconnected 5 years later, and were married.

Brian graduated from IU in 2003 with a degree in Accounting and Finance from the Kelley School of Business and a minor in Spanish.  It was at IU through the Navigator ministry that Brian really began to grow spiritually.  His life was transformed by God in college.  His passion is to help students encounter Jesus, experience the life He wants to give them, and pass on a heart and the skills to walk with God for a lifetime.

Lexi graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Social Work.  She was also involved in a Navigator ministry in college which is where she really began to grow in her relationship with Jesus.  Her heartbeat is to invest in the lives of women in college, helping them to know Jesus, grow in knowing who God has made them to be, and to faithfully follow Jesus.
