Let me start by
telling you how excited my wife Nan and I are to be a part of this great
church. We know that God has brought us here and we are looking forward
to the awesome things that He is going to do. I have a great passion and
desire to see God move in the lives of students and value each and every
one of your prayers and guidance. If you are a parent of a student know
that I am here for you and want to help in anyway that I can. I look
forward to meeting each of you as we grow together in the Lord.
