Mission Statement:
My wife Kathleen and I intensely desire to glorify God in all we do – from practicing medicine to building a God-centered marriage to teaching ministry to raising godly children. We believe that in teaching we can glorify God best and therefore we are training and seeking to teach where God gives us opportunity.

I anticipate completing my PhD at Dallas Seminary this year and then moving into more ministry opportunities. This may be in medical education, on the mission field, in Bible teaching or apologetics ministry or a combination thereof.

I am committed to the inerrancy and authority of the Scriptures, and I am especially interested in apologetics because of my background in science.

We are not pursuing a paid position at this time as we have endeavored through the years to be unencumbered for the sake of broader ministry.
