God has given me a passion to preach and teach his Word deeply and accurately for the purpose of seeing lives transformed into the image of Christ by the Power of the Holy Spirit. 21 years of service as an officer in the US Air Force has given me a broad range of training and experience in managing people, leadership, team building, stewardship, and adaptability. My training at DTS has grown me significantly in my knowledge of and ability to handle God's Word well. Over a decade of faithful service in a wide variety of roles in my local church has given me an appreciation for the complexity of ministry, but also a love for seeing God glorified in all aspects of a church's life.
