My wife, Diane, and I have been married since 1993, and we have three children: Joshua, Caleb, and Kate (TGS Class of 2026).
I became a Christian after my second year in college, and this radically redirected the trajectory of my vocational life. Soon after my conversion, the Lord gave me a heart for spiritually lost teenagers. As a result of this burden, I spent the first seventeen years of full-time vocational ministry in some form of youth and family work. My ministry journey led me into the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), wherein I became an ordained minister in 1998 serving at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Orlando, Florida. During my tenure at St. Paul’s, I joined the faculty of The Geneva School in 1996. I taught Bible and theology in the dialectic and rhetoric school from 1996–2003 prior to being called to plant a church on the US/Mexico border in Chula Vista, California.
In San Diego, I planted churches, coached church planters, and served as a citywide movement facilitator for the Harbor Presbyterian church-planting network. During that season of ministry, I helped with the founding of a Christian classical school in San Diego called The Cambridge School. In 2014, I joined the faculty and staff of The Cambridge School as the assistant head of school and upper school principal. I was privileged to teach logic, systematic theology, and apologetics during my tenure at Cambridge. My love for Christian classical education continued to grow as I saw how God was pleased to use this kind of education to advance his kingdom through graduates equipped to face an ever more complex world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. I began to see my work at Cambridge as one of the most impactful missional posts of personal service that I had ever undertaken.
In 2023, I returned to The Geneva School. I am delighted to be at The Geneva School and to enter this new season of life and ministry. I look forward to providing leadership and to be part of a school seeking to inspire students to love beauty, think deeply, and pursue Christ’s calling.
