Vaughan grew up in a small town in central Illinois where God saved him at a young age. After graduating from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, IL with degrees in Economics and International Business (2017), he moved south to Memphis to work for a non-profit called World Relief. At World Relief, Vaughan currently serves as the Director of Finance and Operations. Shortly after moving to Memphis, Vaughan began attending Park Avenue Church with his now wife, Celina, whom he met in college. They have been blessed with two wonderful daughters. They have been members at Park Avenue since 2018. Vaughan and his family enjoy walking and spending time in the parks that Memphis offers!
