Brad Young | Area Rep Canyon County  

BradYoung@fca.org

Brad was a three-sport athlete in high school, playing offensive line for the Seneca Bobcats, wrestling in the heavyweight division, and competing in discus and shot put. One of his biggest influences was Coach Symth, who had played both football and wrestled at Presbyterian College. Coach Symth not only shared valuable life lessons with Brad but also had a lasting impact on his outlook. Through his three years of high school sports, Brad learned about teamwork, building relationships, and the meaning of sacrifice. These lessons gave him a strong foundation for future success.Brad went on to attend Auburn University, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in agronomy and soils. After graduating, he began a career in sales with Dow AgroSciences. Yet, the life lessons Coach Symth imparted never left him. Brad realized how important it was to give back to the next generation, inspired by the positive role his own coaches had played in shaping him.

After recommitting his life to Christ, Brad was baptized in Indian Creek in Kuna, ID. He now hopes to make a difference in his community by becoming an area representative for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) in Canyon County, Idaho. After decades of searching, Brad found his identity in Christ, and his mission now is to share the Gospel with young people, helping them discover their own identity through a relationship with Jesus.

RJ Walker | FCA Motocross Ambassador - Southern Idaho

rjwalker218@gmail.com

Grew up in San Diego, CA playing football and lacrosse. I would heavily pursue football with the goal of playing in college and would eventually end up at Southern Oregon University in Ashland. After a year there, the school itself was not the right fit and I  would transfer to The College of Idaho in Caldwell to play both football and lacrosse on scholarship. My football career was riddled with injuries while my lacrosse career was plenty fruitful. In my time with the C of I lacrosse program, we qualified for two national tournaments, made an appearance in the Final Four, and would reach national ranking of #5 my senior year before COVID ultimately cancelled our season 2 games in. After college, I focused my energy into the hobbies I grew up doing, which was riding dirt bikes and mountain bikes really started to build a good community of friends to ride with here in Idaho. One of those friends would invite me to be a Huddle Leader with him for motocross at the All Sports camp in 2022. That camp got me hooked and made my wheels turn trying to think of other ways we could do community outreach through moto. In early 2024, Ken Lewis and Randy Hutchins approached me about becoming more involved with FCA and I felt a pulling on my heart to use my love for Jesus and share it through a sport that is greatly influenced by the things of this world.
