In the fall of 1984 I began teaching part time at the University of Mary, and in 1999 I became a full-time instructor. I teach Old Testament studies, church history and ethics for undergraduates. My office is in the Benedictine Center at the University of Mary’s main campus.

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
