Bio: I am an endorsed chaplain through Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, ministering to students at Wake Forest University. I'm also a part of the leadership team that organizes Cooperative Baptist Student Fellowship groups around the state of North Carolina. I've been doing campus ministry since 1995 and teaching since 1997. While I was an associate chaplain at Wake I was the faculty adviser for the Interfaith Council and I've enjoyed ecumenical projects with our other Christian groups on campus. The focus of my doctoral work was on pastoral care across faith traditions. I've taught a variety of English, humanities, and religion courses as an adjunct professor at Wake Forest University School of Divinity, Forsyth Technical Community College, and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
