Biography

I am passionate about serving the Lord Jesus and His church. Since 2013, I have had the honor of being the President of Carey. Throughout my time here, I have drawn upon my pastoral and missionary experiences to remove barriers to theological education for church leaders, pastors, and missionaries being raised up by God to share the Good News of Jesus with the world.
