I grew up as a believer and in the church. In high school, I became increasingly curious about mathematics and physics, and I thought of the beauty of science and math as a reflection of God's beauty. In college, I pursued a degree in mechanical engineering. Being successful academically became an important priority for me, and I did well in my studies. When I graduated from college, I began to work professionally as an engineer, and I worked diligently to establish my career. However, I felt that my academic and professional pursuits had competed for my devotional time, and I wanted to renew my walk as a disciple of Christ. Working as an engineer was a wonderful blessing, but it was difficult to see how my role as an engineer fit in with my role as a disciple. I struggled to understand how I could connect my spiritual life to the fulfillment that I experienced in my engineering analysis and design work. These questions led me to study theology and philosophy, and I have found that the knowledge gained in mathematics and physics actually relates to theology and philosophy. God has blessed these pursuits, and they have helped me to be a better engineering professor.
