Ellen grew up a military brat, spending 4 years at a time in several locations. She moved to the Upstate in the mid 80’s, looking for a new path for her and her young son. She found her soulmate in 1988 and they were married in April of 1990. Together She and Dave have 3 boys and 2 grandsons. Ellen found that her most enjoyable job was one that she felt passionate about at the end of the day, so she turned to the nonprofit sector. Joining Mill Village Ministries in January she hopes to make a lasting impression helping others daily.
