I am in my 20th year as a professor at Central College in the Exercise Science Department. I am a Christian as well. I have almost grown children and a wife of 34 years. I teach core science classes in the program. I really enjoy my job and like going to work each day.
Favorite Quote
Romans 10:9-10 If you confess with your moth "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Friends describe me
I like to have fun teaching and doing things in the human performance lab. I have been told my laugh is infectious and helps students to feel comfortable around me.
