He has also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Charleston, where he majored in German. Prior experiences include studies in Germany and service as vicar at Messiah Lutheran Church in Danville, California.
Lefort is engaged to be married to Savannah Stame of Boise, Idaho. A wedding date has not yet been published. The couple will be living in Oak Ridge and hope to be here for many years, according to the release.
