Biography

Lead Pastor, Grace Church of the Nazarene

I have always had a passion for Christian ministry and Christian education. As a product of Christian higher education, I believe I have a responsibility to invest in my students just as my professors invested in me in my educational journey. Teaching at Roberts has been a joy and a blessing. I appreciate the time I have working with students as we learn more about Scripture and service. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I pastor full-time. I am an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and I also serve on my denominational district’s Board of Ministry and I am a ministerial delegate on the Board of Trustees at Eastern Nazarene College. I am married, I have cats, and I collect and build Legos. I am an enthusiastic baseball, football, and hockey fan and I also collect sports cards and memorabilia.
