Professor of Pastoral Studies
Vice President and Dean
I embrace my role as Vice President and Dean of George Fox Evangelical Seminary with a deep awareness of God's calling to be here. What energizes me most about life at George Fox is the opportunity to serve with “Crème de la crème” of Christ's followers. Our staff and faculty are the best of the best; our students represent the most dedicated servants of Jesus Christ. Every member of the George Fox University community is committed to the institution's shared mission "to demonstrate the meaning of Jesus Christ by offering a caring educational community in which each individual may achieve the highest intellectual and personal growth . . . by participating responsibly in our world's concerns."
I am grateful to be a part of this great enterprise and invite you to join us in our efforts to faithfully serve Christ on behalf of the church and the world.
