Those who dance appear insane to those who can't hear the music.

I am passionate about helping people 'hear the music' that God has surrounded them with.  This has consumed my life from the time I completed my undergraduate studies in Youth Ministry and Secondary Education. 

I lived, worked and studied in New Zealand for over 15 years as a youth pastor and then chaplain/counselor of an all boys' day school in the Wellington region.  I am currently studying toward my Master of Divinity and pursuing ordination in the Presbyterian church.

I have been at King for 10 years directing the youth ministry major as well as coaching, acting as the faculty representative for the campus chapter of FCA, leading short term mission trips to Camden NJ as well as various other campus involvement.  I love the students at King!

I am married to Cindy and together we have 4 children ranging in age from 12 to 22.  When I can find the time I love to be out on my bike riding the great country roads around Bristol and fly fishing in the trophy tailwater of the South Holston River.
