BIO

Long before I worked at Asbury, God called me to ministry. I came here as a student chasing that call, earned my B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in Youth Ministry, and along the way learned that ministry doesn’t only happen in a church. It happens at a desk, in an email, in the moment a student realizes someone is actually in their corner.

That’s what shapes my work as Transfer Credit Analyst and Graduate Specialist. I’ve sat where you’re sitting. I know what it feels like to wonder whether your credits will count, or whether grad school fits into an already full life, because I’m finishing my MBA here while working full time.

Outside the office, my wife Emma and I serve in youth ministry, and I’m still learning daily to surrender to what God has for me. If the process feels overwhelming, you’re not alone!
