THE MADE NEW CREW
Our Stories
OWEN
Race Director
I started the Made New 5K because I knew God was calling me to do something with my time, talents and treasures. I did not know what it was at first, but shortly after I was led to the idea of a 5K. And shortly after that, the mission behind it became clear, Blackbox International. I am doing this is because I want to help in the fight to bring awareness to the horrific reality of human trafficking and glorify God's name in the process.
Fun fact: I love to travel, explore different cultures and meet new people!
Three favorite things: Chick-Fil-A, Harry Potter, and taking pictures
CALEB
Co Director
After MOVE 2018, I saw that Owen was set on doing something awesome to help the kingdom. We had talked before about possibly doing a 5k to help a non-profit organization but this was when he got serious. I knew he would the perfect person to organize something like this and he got started right away. Last year's race was a huge success and I can't wait to see how we can top it this year.
Fun Fact: I'm not Owen's brother.

ELLIE

I was asked to be on the team over the summer by Owen, I obviously said yes! I love this mission and everything it stands for. I think it's very important to support missions like Blackbox, they are doing amazing work in our community as well as overseas.
Fun fact: I love shopping!
Three favorite things: Making money, spending money, and shoes!
JOSEPH
Funds Director
I decided to join the team because Owen told me about this great idea to help out those that are less fortunate and I was on board from the beginning. This year, I got promoted to a leadership position and I'm excited to see how the 5K turns out this year!
Fun fact: I love bringing back old dance moves.
