      During my time in Indiana I worked with wonderful people and established a Grief Recovery ministry called G.R.I.P. (Grief Recovery In Progress), served as a chaplain at Howard Community Hospital, and coached the varsity soccer team at Kokomo Christian School for 3 years- Good times!After moving to Pennsylvania in 1996 I had the privilege to start/plant New Hope Community Church. Although our time there was not lengthy we met and worked with so many good people and experienced tremendous joy and satisfaction in our work.In 2004 I joined 2 other pastors at Folcroft Union Church and became their Preaching Pastor. For 3 years I loved and was loved by these dear people as I preached God's Word to them each Sunday. It was during this time that I visited Israel and Ukraine. My Folcroft family were so encouraging to me throughout my doctoral studies. Show less

      I have had the privilege of teaching Bible, theology, and Christian leadership principles to a various array of students. I've taught students in the Addictive Services program, Korean nurses, students in organizational leadership, nurses pursing their BSN degree; students on Main Campus, students in center city Philadelphia, students at the East Falls, Philadelphia campus. It has been an honor and a joy to learn with all of these students.
