I have been teaching with the Academy for 6 years with a focus on the areas of Math, Engineering, and Bible. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of North Florida, which allowed me to work in the consulting engineering world for over 10 years before serving the church as a full-time vocational pastor. I also earned a Master of Arts in Youth Ministry from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. While serving in student ministry, I have been able to use my background in math and engineering to help numerous students better understand the academic challenges they have faced in those subject areas. 

I have served in churches, alongside my wife Kathleen, in both volunteer roles and vocational roles for over 30 years. We have three children who faithfully serve the church as well as a wonderful daughter-in-law. 

As for my free time, I like to read, hike, kayak, and sporadically attempt to be a runner.
