  Founders

Mark Neumann

Founding Volunteer 

Mark’s business degree from the University of Wisconsin led him to a full-time career as a financial planner at Northwestern Mutual, where he has led a successful business for over 35 years. Mark’s heart for helping young men understand what the Bible says it is to lead a life of integrity and strong moral character, paired with the calling to help children who have lost their father grow spiritually, gave life to the LifeCampUSA program. Mark and his wife Jane have been married for 35+ years and have five beautiful daughters.  

Jane Neumann

Founding Volunteer 

With a degree in education from Concordia University Wisconsin, Jane’s rewarding education career blossomed into the LifeCampUSA program – equipping young people to walk in their purpose and identity in Christ. Inspired by Mark and their five daughters, her deep love for family and mentoring has fueled her passion to guide children toward a meaningful connection with God—a friendship rooted in His eternal love. Mark and Jane reside in southern Wisconsin. 

 

 

 

  Leadership

Trevor Fabian

Executive Director

Trevor Fabian serves as Executive Director of LifeCampUSA, where he oversees the organization’s day-to-day operations, strategic initiatives, and long-term growth. Working alongside the leadership team, he is committed to building a ministry that faithfully serves children for years after camp and ensures that no child who loses a parent in service walks through grief alone.

Trevor medically retired from the United States Air Force in 2021 after more than 11 years of service. He began his Air Force career as a SERE Specialist before commissioning as a Special Tactics Officer in Air Force Special Warfare, where he led Combat Control teams on Special Operations missions around the world. Following his military service, Trevor earned his MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business before building his career in investment banking and executive leadership within private equity-backed companies. In 2026, he returned to serve the military community full time through LifeCampUSA, bringing together experience leading Special Operations teams, helping grow businesses, and serving children and families navigating the loss of a father.

Trevor’s faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of his life and leadership. He believes every child deserves to know they are deeply loved, that their story matters, and that they were created with purpose. Trevor lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Meghan, their two Border Collies, Brego and Harley, and they are eagerly preparing to welcome their first daughter.

  Chaplains

Jake Southern

LifeCampUSA Chaplain

Jake served in the U.S. Army as a Field Artillery Sergeant from 2007-2012, where he completed two combat deployments in support of both, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. During his time in the Army, he met his wife Susan. They have been married for 15 years. They have two sons, Mack and Colt, and currently live in Kansas City, Missouri. After serving in the Army Jake pursued a career as a Journeyman Lineman working on high voltage powerlines. After years of struggling with PTS, substance abuse and suicidal ideation, He and his wife were invited to Operation Heal our Patriots in Alaska. It was there that they heard the good news of God’s grace and were reconciled to God through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Since that time in July of 2020, Jake has been on a desperate and passionate pursuit of the truth, the Word of God. He has been transformed by the love of God, and longs to help others see and believe in the love God has for them.

  Our Team

Faith Cecil

Operations Coordinator

Faith graduated from Clemson University with a Parks and Recreation degree. Before joining LifeCampUSA, Faith had worked with four other Camp and Conference Centers, which furthered her excitement for the industry and allowed her to learn from each team she was a part of. Faith is passionate about summer camp ministry and the way the Gospel is spread, and lives can be changed when kids have the opportunity to go outside and see the Creator in His creation. Faith currently lives in North Carolina with her Husband, Sam, who serves as an Artillery Officer in the United States Marine Corps.

Megan Stephenson

Mission Support Coordinator

Megan serves as LifeCampUSA’s Mission Support Coordinator. She loves supporting the team and stepping in wherever she is needed to help serve families well.
Megan’s desire to serve others and share God’s love and grace has taken her around the world, from serving orphans in Haiti and joining medical missions in Central America and Europe to supporting an emergency field hospital in Ukraine shortly after the war began. LifeCampUSA’s focus on military and first responder families is especially personal to her. Her husband was medically retired from the Army and now serves as a police officer, so supporting families who sacrificed so much feels like a natural continuation of her calling to serve.

Originally from Tennessee, Megan and her husband recently returned to their hometown. She enjoys adventures, spending time with their red and blue heelers – the “Bluey family,” according to her niece – and making memories with her family. Above all, she considers being an aunt to her two wonderful nieces, one of life’s greatest honors.

Greg Borchard

Community Outreach Manager

Greg has been part of LifeCampUSA for the past five years. This year, after retiring from a career in sales and marketing, he stepped into the part-time role of Community Outreach Manager, where he’s building recruitment and sponsorship partnerships with American Legion posts across the country. He also helped launch our new MomCare program.
Greg’s work is rooted in his faith, and especially Isaiah 1:17: “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”
Before joining LifeCampUSA, Greg served his church for years as a youth leader, elder, and worship team member.

He and his wife Kathy have been married for 44 years and have three kids and five grandchildren. When he’s not working, you’ll find him on the softball diamond, golf course, or pickleball court, or out hunting with Nellie, their German wirehaired pointer.

Katie Eggers

Donor Care Coordinator

Katie graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Communications before beginning her career in the corporate world. While living in Colorado, God transformed her life, leading her and her husband, Brent, to faith in Christ and redirecting her heart toward serving others.
After stepping away from her career to raise their two children, Katie became actively involved in women’s and family ministry through her local church, serving as a section leader at Cherry Hills Community Church and as a MOPS group leader and coordinator. She also worked as a group fitness trainer and provided marketing support for local fitness organizations.

In 2020, Katie and her family returned to the Midwest and now call Oconomowoc, Wisconsin home. Today, Katie serves in Donor Care at LifeCampUSA, where she builds relationships with the faithful supporters who make the ministry possible and helps connect them with the lasting impact of their generosity.
Katie and Brent have two teenage children. She enjoys fitness, traveling, pickleball, golf, and spending time outdoors.

Favorite Scripture: Joshua 1:9 — “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Elena Phillips

Donor Care Coordinator

Elena Phillips serves as a Donor Care Coordinator at LifeCampUSA while continuing her long-time career as an Associate Financial Representative with Mark Neumann at Northwestern Mutual. She is deeply grateful for the opportunity to build relationships with the generous supporters whose partnership makes it possible for LifeCampUSA to serve children who have lost a military parent or first responder.

Inspired by the compassion of the ministry’s mentors, volunteers, and donors, Elena considers it a privilege to help connect others to the hope and healing God is bringing through LifeCampUSA.
Elena and her husband, Dan, have been married for over 41 years and live in Wisconsin. They enjoy traveling, golf, tennis, and spending time with their three adult children and two sons-in-law.
