"When teaching, I see myself first as an ambassador of Christ, then a counselor educator, and a mentor. I try to put myself in the position of a student: What kind of gospel-transformed instructor would I have wanted to see and emulate?"

A Defining Moment
"When I was in college as a business major, I was convinced after I graduated I would change the world using my business skills. The direction of my life changed when my mother reached the age of retirement and recruited me to assist her in opening a boarding house for adolescent girls who needed a place to stay while finishing their education. I struggled to understand the behavior of these girls and became easily frustrated by their failure to obey simple rules. I prayed, complained, and shared my worries with a friend. He encouraged me to take a graduate course in counseling. What started as a way to get over my frustration was God’s way of turning me towards His call for my life. Today, I wake up with excitement because I love what I do. I know I am fulfilling my calling and am grateful God continually gives me the grace to serve His kingdom this way."
