Sharing knowledge for personal and spiritual growth

In 2001, I began to teach at Greenville with the guidance of a great mentor, Dr. William Ahern, and an incredible group of faculty. Here, we discovered a warm, Christ-centered family of believers who encouraged us and helped us express what the Lord had placed in our hearts.

Over the years, we have had our children all graduate from Greenville University, become ordained elders, travel abroad, begin, and maintain a not-for-profit organization, and experience life in ways that we did not imagine 20 years ago. Greenville has been instrumental in many of the blessings in my life, and I am truly thankful to God for this sacred space.

Biology has been an interest of mine since I was in junior high, and I have found great usefulness in knowing how biology relates to personal and community health. Because of this, my wife and I have been able to travel to countries like Malawi, Rwanda, and Guatemala and worked to provide better health to communities through clean drinking water, etc. This integration is the heart of Wesleyan ministry and gives purpose and meaning to what I do.

I love teaching at Greenville University because the philosophy of education is to form relationships within the community and to share knowledge and experiences which help us in our personal and spiritual growth. My life has been greatly enriched by those that I have met, taught, and worked with, and for that I am grateful to God.
