About
I am a Biblical Studies student at Criswell Bible college in downtown Dallas. I married a cute blonde in the summer of 2021 and now live we her and our dog in the DFW metroplex. Since childhood my inquisitive nature pushed to think deeply about people and the stories we tell about ourselves and the world around us. This interest drew to the field of psychology before I fell in love with studying the TaNaKh and New Testament in their historical and literary context. Now I desire to bring the story of people today into the narrative of scripture.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
The career path is still coming into view. I hope to frequently teach in the church as well as academia. I love history so I can always see myself teaching at a community college the topic. I’d love the challenge of taking a subject which so many find boring and irrelevant and turning it into a paradigm altering field of study.
- Graduate school interests
Regent College Vancouver BC
Northern Seminary Lisle IL- Outside the classroom
I enjoy the sport of MMA. It is never long before my coworkers and I start chatting it up about the latest fights.
I love hiking and spending time outdoors especially if swimming in a lake or river is on the table.
I love to cook and explore new flavors and techniques in the kitchen with my wife as my number 1 customer.
