Interests

Background

Previous to teaching at Northwest, I served in pastoral ministry to college students: 6 years in a congregation and 3 years as the first full time campus pastor here at Northwest. It was my pastoral experience with college students that led me to pursue my doctoral studies in philosophical theology at St Andrews in Scotland. I am very pleased to be back at Northwest teaching philosophy and theology.

Family

Jennifer and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this year with a trip to Sydney, Australia. It was marvelous. I have a son and a daughter at home that both keep me on my toes.

Hobbies

I race a one-design 17′ sailboat called a Thistle and enjoy watching my two kids play soccer and lacrosse as well as generally tormenting them with my odd sense of humor.
