Biography:

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