Personal Quote:I love working with students who have a passion for engaging the culture and changing the Church. Shenandoah University is the perfect environment for teaching students who desire to lead our Church and the world into the new millennium. Small class sizes and a chance to develop practical leadership skills through the Faith Seeking Justice Christian Leadership Program make Shenandoah University unique and help us forge a new way to raise up leaders for the Church and world.
Personal Highlights:
My wife, Alethea, and I love raising our family here in the city of Winchester. Alethea owns and practices pediatric medicine at Grace Point Pediatrics. We enjoy having students over to the house to babysit, eat dinner, or for Bible studies.
