Biography
I enjoy teaching at Taylor because of the opportunities to integrate faith and learning. I enjoy helping students think “Christianly” about American history, especially the role that religious people have played in it.
Hobbies
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and watching all kinds of sports.
