I have been a flawed follower of Jesus of Nazareth most of my life. I try to follow him and to love my students and my other faculty (my neighbors) as myself.

Favorite Quote

"Nothing that you have not given away will be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in." C. S. Lewis
