I’m blessed to be a part of the George Fox Evangelical Seminary community, and especially to be helping our Doctor of Ministry students be successful.  I’m a bit of a generalist, with a background in local church ministry (21 years), organizational work and academics.  In addition to my work with the seminary, I also do quite a bit of adjunct teaching locally and online. My role with the DMin program involves working with the online and hybrid elements, as well as teaching research courses, serving as a DMin Faculty Advisor and Dissertation Supervisor, and providing academic and technical support for students and faculty.

I’m a native Oregonian, but enjoyed several years living in Appalachia as well.  I’m married, with two teenage children, and I love spending time with my family.  Outside of academics and ministry I enjoy travel, hiking/camping, fishing with my kids, sports, watching movies, playing and listening to music (country and classic rock are my favorites.  I play a little banjo, guitar and fiddle myself).
