I received my MDiv from Alliance Theological Seminary (Honors with Distinction). Then I studied Advanced Hebrew at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan for one year, after which I went to Westminster Theological Seminary to further my studies in the Old Testament, New Testament, and Church History.

I am passionate about the Scriptures and especially love spending time in the original languages of the Bible.

I am passionate about prayer and its effective work in the life of a believer and the work of God on the earth.

I am passionate about the lost being found in Christ through faith.

I am passionate about preaching and continue to pray to be a more effective communicator.

I am passionate about integrating worship for children with disabilities, particularly autism. As the father of a son with autism, I believe that God is concerned about this, as it relates to the "least of these."

I play golf with a 10-handicap (although I haven't been practicing much lately).

Finally, God has blessed me with a beautiful wife and two children.
