Rocklin, CA

Biography:

Mark grew up in the beautiful state of Indiana and he has fond memories of warm summer evenings, fields of lightning bugs, and endless sunsets. He began teaching at Jessup in the fall of 2010 and is currently an Associate Professor of Theology for the School of Theology and Leadership. He teaches freshman introductory courses as well as upper divisional theology courses. Mark loves seeing the students grow and mature from freshman to senior year. Being a part of that growth process is one of the main reasons he became a teacher. His current areas of research interest include practical theology, spiritual formation, and the intersection of popular culture and theology.
