We're kicking off BROVEMBER with my brother-in-law, Thomas Steel. Thomas and I go wayyyyy back to doing high school musicals and marching band together. When I met my husband, Mike, I first knew him as "Thomas' brother".  Thomas helped launched Vineyard Finneytown, a new church in 2021, is on leadership for Revive Ministries in Mason, and works at an accounting firm. In his free time he enjoys photography, hiking, being active, and many other adventures.
