Why I Teach at CPLS: I love learning and thinking with others. I desire to do work that is impactful for both my community and me. I need to better conform myself to the image of the Son, I trust it will occur through this labor. I want my children to have teachers and peers with similar values.

Personal Testimony: I made a profession at the age of 6. I was baptized at 12. I rededicated my life at 15. My father passed away when I was 18. I got married at 21. A testimony (like history) can read like one disconnect thing after the other. Behind each, however, is a story often not fully understood by even its teller. My testimony cannot be reduced to a salvation experience because each year brings new developments in my walk, and each year alters how I view previous ones. Essentially, my “witness” is that God has always been good to me. He has been and will continue to be faithful. He will make everything right.
