Noel is a lawyer by training, so he loves the law...it's just that he loves grace more.  That's why he's thrilled to serve with pureHOPE and to promote the message that those who hope in Jesus purify themselves, just as He is pure (I John 3:3).

His work as Vice President focuses on developing strategy and building ministry partnerships with organizations, churches, and individuals across the country.  He speaks regularly on the topics of Christian sexual ethics, prudent technology use in the mobile age, and the nature of and connections between pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking, and other forms of commercial sex.  He also directs the pureJUSTICE summer internship, a program designed to train college-aged leaders as effective anti-trafficking advocates through spiritual formation and professional development.

Prior to joining pureHOPE in 2008, Noel practiced law in the Cincinnati office of a prominent Ohio law firm.  He received his law degree with honors from The University of Texas School of Law, and his undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University, where he quarterbacked the football team.

Noel lives in the Cincinnati area with his wife, Vanessa, and their daughters, Giovanna and Tirzah.
