Our Staff
Meet the staff behind the South Jersey Surf & Skate Ministry
Paul Aspenberg
Ambassador
Ocean City Surf & Skate
Atlantic City Surf
Paul has a deep love for his local surf community, and a desire for those he comes in contact in the water to see the love of Christ in simple and creative ways. He enjoys hosting events with a huge bonfire, live music and a surf movie playing the background. Lately, Paul and his friends have been reaching out to students who don’t normally have access to water recreation. Sometimes, the best part of his day is holding the hand of a nervous student, and jumping over breakers until they feel comfortable to take the next step.
Mary Garrett

Mary's dedication to serving others to further the Gospel and support anyone and everyone in the field does not go unnoticed. She not only serves as the Administrative Assistant for FCA Surf & Skate South Jersey, but also serves as the Administrative Assistant for all FCA staff in South Jersey as well as Camp Registrar for all 10 weeks of Surf & Skate.
Caroline Unger
Ambassador
LBI Surf & Skate
Jesus told us that He came so that we could "have life and have it to the full." (John10:10b).
For Caroline, "living life full" is being in water...surfing or paddling anything that floats. When that is combined with being able to share or praise Jesus, "It's too good to be true." Caroline is excited because it gets even better. "There is a core group on LBI who are passionate about sharing the Gospel message. FCA Surf LBI is focused on reaching folks on beaches and skateparks, for the glory of Jesus.
Tara Rudd
Ambassador
LBI Surf & Skate
We can be good stewards of our gifts and talents by glorifying God in everything we do. Action sports have always been an important part of life for Tara. She enjoys adventuring with her family and pushing her own limits. God has been guiding her life into various ministries with kids and adults. It is clear that God gave us our interests and hobbies to reach others and create relationships to tell others about God's love. Tara is excited to adventure with new people and share the good news!
