Cole was called to oversee the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Greater Peoria Area in June of 2005. He is a graduate of Greenville College, where he played basketball and football and majored in physical education. While at Greenville, Cole played and student coached football under Scotty Kessler. He credits "Coach Kess" as his primary mentor in "competing biblically," which is where the Lord began to form a vision that would ultimately become His vision for FCA in the Greater Peoria Area. A few years later, Cole is now consulting, discipling, and mentoring the coaches and athletes in the Greater Peoria Area on both how to compete Biblically and do sports God’s way. It is his goal to change the culture of sport here through the consultation of these athletes and coaches in this area, which can in turn, impact the world for Jesus Christ. He currently resides in Peoria, IL, with his wife, Kristi, daughter, Kenzi, and baby boy on the way :)
