Dikran has the task of overseeing the jr. high and high school ministries at Harvest. He is originally from Des Moines, IA, where he graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1993. He attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL and graduated with a B.A. in Pastoral Studies. “D” joined the staff at Harvest in March of 2005. He loves to watch and play sports, eat, sleep, hang out with students, golfing, listen to music, work with computers, and humiliate anyone who dares to challenge him to a game of Madden on the PS2. He has a passion to see students come to know Christ and to see students grow in their walk with God. He is married to Jill, his beautiful wife.
