I joined the ABC team in 2014. Having been nurtured by the ABC community as a student myself, I now continue the tradition of helping ABC students mature in their interaction with scripture, exploration of theology, and practice of the spiritual life. I oversee ABC's Student Development department and teach in the areas of Old Testament and Spiritual Formation. I am married to Brenda, and we have four children (Holly, Michael, Thomas, and Pearson).
