Favorite aspect of teaching at Calvary:  My favorite aspect of teaching at Calvary is to inspire students to be successful learners along with educating them in a biblical environment in preparation for their divine purposes in ministry.

Favorite class to teach: All classes in Business Administration are my favorite but if I have to pick one, I would say it is Organizational Behavior and Planned Change.

How did past ministry/professional experience lead to your position at Calvary: I was in the addiction field for 19 years and I would always use a biblical aspect for individual and group counseling sessions; however, after completing my doctorate, I knew I wanted to teach in a higher learning environment where God is the center point, along with making use of the Bible as a way of living.

Ministry/Professional involvement outside of Calvary:  I participate in a health and fitness ministry where we educate others on the importance of great nutrition and exercise.  I am also a volunteer with the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Program for men 18+.  Both programs are biblically based regarding self-care of the body, mind, and spirit.
