THE TLR TEAM BIOS
A little about us.
JAKE WILLIAMS | Director
Born and raised in Dublin, GA, Jake has a passion for helping students discover an everyday faith and trust in Jesus. After earning a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Georgia, he decided to forego his plans to attend medical school and instead earned a Masters in Christian Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary. Jake loves Cracker Barrel, pickleball, and long walks on the beach. He would love to connect with you!
JORDAN CASTARDI | Groups Director
Jordan is a local Georgia girl. She started following Jesus when she was in college at Kennesaw State University, so her heart for college students to know Jesus is a personal one. At KSU she studied marketing and was in Phi Mu sorority. Her and her husband, Steven, have 2 awesome kids, Zaiah and Collins. Jordan loves a good coffee mug, reading, thrift store finds, making sourdough, and attending to her garden. She would love to meet you!
