HOBBIES: Jonathan enjoys cooking and indie video game design. He loves to experiment with new recipes that challenge my skills and get me to try new cuisine that He hasn’t tried before. He enjoys branching out creatively and attempting to create his own stories and share his perspectives through the medium of video games.

TESTIMONY: “I decided to join AGO because when I first arrived at UCLA I had a difficult time finding people I connected with on a deep level. The closeness of the brotherhood and the amazing sense of community that comes with living together with the common purpose to share Christ’s love to those around us convinced me that I wanted to be a part of this brotherhood. From the first day I showed up at the house to today, I know that I can count on my brothers to hold me accountable to the goals I have and that I can be there for them during their times of need.”

HOBBIES: Mountain biking, working out

TESTIMONY: “AGO was an amazing space that helped me to grow spiritually and more generally, as an adult.

NAME: Caleb “Crescendo” Cheung

POSITION: Brotherhood Chair

HOMETOWN: South Pasadena, California

MAJOR: Civil and Environmental Engineering

HOBBIES: Caleb enjoys playing piano, watching movies, and playing most sports.

TESTIMONY: “Like many others here, I came into UCLA not knowing many people and Christians in general. AGO stood out to me because everyone here is actively pursuing God and in unity, despite differences in interests and personalities. I joined because I was eager to grow and have a fun time to make the most out of college life! I was a bit hesitant to join at first, knowing the time commitments and general reputation of frats, but eventually I grew to love this place and count the AGO house as my secondary home. AGO has taught me so much about leadership, diversity, Christ-like attitude and many other things that might have taken several more years to learn and experience had I stayed in the dorms and settled for a stagnant spiritual life.”
