Meet the Staff

Staff Bios

Brett & Krista Miller
Brett and Krista were both involved with Cru on their college campuses - James Madison University and Virginia Tech, respectively. They were each gripped by God's love and heart for the world, and upon graduating, served with Cru in Venezuela, which is where they met. They have been on staff for 14 years, spending almost 6 of those years in Venezuela. Brett and Krista returned to the States in 2008, and Brett is now one of the directors of Cru at George Mason University. They have four kids - Karina Love, Keira Joy, Braden Emory, and Kyla Hope - who are a wonderful blessing to them. Brett enjoys playing basketball, hanging out with friends, chips and salsa, and attempting to be a triathlete. Krista enjoys dancing, zumba, getting coffee with friends, and reading. Brett and Krista are passionate about helping college students understand and be gripped by the good news of Jesus Christ.

Kathie Virunurm
Kathie got involved with Cru during her freshman year at Virginia Tech. After graduating from Virginia Tech, Kathie went to Estonia where the Cru campus ministry was still in its pioneering stage. She lived and worked with Cru in Estonia for almost seven years before coming to George Mason University. Kathie loves a good cup of coffee, quality conversation about life and faith, and traveling to different countries. So far, she has traveled to 24 different countries.

Greg & Elise Boros
Greg was rescued by Jesus during his freshman year at Penn State University, at about the same time that he met and fell in love with Elise. Both Greg and Elise spent their college years involved in Cru and Navigators, and felt called to join Cru staff right after graduating and getting married. They’ve spent over ten years on staff now, both at Penn State and George Mason. In 2010, on Thanksgiving Day, Greg received a heart transplant, making the urgency of the gospel and the sweetness of eternal life so much dearer to them. In 2014, God blessed the Boros’ with the most amazing kid ever, their precious son Paul. Greg loves Elise, Paul, air conditioning, ice water, astronomy, and double-bacon-cheeseburgers. Elise enjoys hanging out with friends, quality family time, being outside, the ocean, and super dark coffee. She also can’t imagine living a day without chocolate.

Kevin Wright
Kevin (on right) began his journey with Mason Cru community in spring of 2010, when a friend of his who was a current student invited him out to a weekly meeting. With four weeks left in the semester, Kevin continued to come out to meetings, build relationships with students and staff, which has led to his current involvement with the staff team. Kevin greatly enjoys JESUS, and seeing students lives changed by HIM. In addition to this he also enjoys deep conversations on faith, life, and more. Kevin is also an avid reader, music listener and concert goer, and greatly enjoys the preforming arts. There’s more to him than that, but you will have to meet him to find out!

Michael Crum
Michael transferred to Mason his junior year and was involved with Cru the remainder of his time in college. After graduating in 2014, Michael decided to stick around and join the team here at Mason. If you want to talk about sports, talk to Michael. His other interests include hiking and camping, watching movies, and playing board games.
