“I served as a pastor for 15 years before coming to TFC to teach in 1988. My reason for being here is to help teach and train the next generation of Christian servant leaders. I love to communicate my passion for the Bible in the classroom, and am grateful to the Lord for the privilege of sharing my life with TFC students.”
