Hey there, I’m Daniel. I live in Canon City CO, and work at New Horizons Thrift store.
In the past several years God has done an amazing work in my life, and I love little better then to pass on to others what God has done in me. Some of my favorite hobbies are hiking and music. But also love photography, interacting with friends, exploring God’s country and much more. So come on, let’s go HIKE!
Jesse Shetler (HIKE 1 lead chief)
Hi, my name is Jesse Shetler. I live just outside of Kalona, Iowa. I work at Hardy lawn furniture delivering storage sheds and poly furniture. I go to church at Lower Deer Creek Mennonite Church, where I’m involved as a sound technician. My favorite things to do are operating my own professional sound system that I use to run sound for local Christian bands, playing soccer, running, hunting, being outdoors and hanging out with friends. I also love sharing my faith with people that I meet. I’ve always enjoyed sharing God’s word with youth and helping them grow to be Godly men.
Nate Miller (HIKE 1)
Jeff Hochstedler (HIKE 2)
Hi, my name is Jeff Hochstedler. I live near Kalona, Iowa where I work in the parts department at a farm equipment dealership. I enjoy most sports (especially basketball and softball), farming, playing games, and partaking of my niece’s snacks. HIKE had an immense impact on my life when I was a hiker back in 2016; I’m looking forward to watching other young men encounter God on the trail as well. Seeing young men that strive to live out Biblical masculinity gets me excited. What will God do on HIKE this year? Come along and find out!
Anthony Miller (HIKE 1)
Hi! My name is Anthony Miller. I live in Penrose Colorado where I do shed interiors and other construction stuff for a living. Some of my favorite things to do are fishing, hiking, swimming and basically anything else outdoors. I also really enjoy singing and playing instruments. I’ve been on both HIKE 1 & 2 and feel it’s had a big impact on my life. I want to help pass that on to other young men. I’m looking forward to being out on the trail this year and seeing what God has for us!
Benjamin Helmuth (HIKE 2)
Hi, I’m Benjamin Helmuth from Kalona, Iowa. I am passionate about the outdoors and love playing most sports. I was on Hike in 2016 and learned a lot of good things that I am excited to teach to other young men. I also served at Bald Eagle Boys Camp for several years and during my time there learned about the importance of doing things as a group not just as an individual. I also learned how to care for others even when it is difficult, and the importance of talking through the things we are going through in our lives.
