I was born in Detroit in 1967. I graduated from Harding University in 1989 with a B.A. in Missions and 1991 with a M.S.E. In 1992, I went to live in Papua, Indonesia where I was the director of a Bible School. I returned to the U.S. in 2009 and graduated from Harding School of Theology with a M.Div. in 2014. I currently live in Homestead, Florida and last year taught special needs students at Redland Christian Academy.
