I grew up in the Pentecostal world and attended an Assemblies of God university, receiving my undergraduate degree in Pastoral Ministries and Biblical Studies.

My whole adult life I have craved a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and knew that through knowledge of the Word, I would grow closer with Jesus. However, with work, family and church responsibilities, I did not think I would have the opportunity.

My brief journey at RBS has been an extreme delight. I really love and appreciate the formats, structure, and mode of operation that the seminary has adopted.

We are never too old to learn new things, and I have found my spiritual life and ministry enriched by my theological studies. I found my seminary experience inspiring as my professors and guest lecturers challenged me to dig deeper into the rich treasures of God's Word.

Raised a Free Will Baptist, I was brought up under the ministry of my father and grandfather. I eventually became the associate pastor in my grandfather’s church, and after his passing, was unexpectedly thrust into the role of lead pastor.

After graduating, we were married and worked for several years in a missions support role. While working in that role, we felt the Lord leading us to be more directly involved in seeing the nations (unreached languages) reached with the Truth.
