As a husband, father, educator, minister, and engineer, I have worked for many schools, corporations, and organizations. My spiritual life began "lukewarm" to where I knew about God, to in college I was "cold" living a life ignoring God, to being "hot" living daily submitted to God. My relationship with God through Jesus Christ has brought me through broken relationships, addictions, and pain. My career and profession were full before my submission to God's will for my life; then it went to be fulfilling after my submission. My goal is not perfection, finances, fame, or notoriety; it is success by living each day serving, following, and seeking what God has for me. In addition to MSU, I work with the University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering Texas Engineering Executive Education Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) as an Exam Refresher Course Instructor.

“When I was young, I said to God, 'God, tell me the mystery of the universe.' But God answered, 'That knowledge is for me alone.' So I said, 'God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.' Then God said, 'Well George, that's more nearly your size.' And he told me.” ― George Washington Carver
