I was raised most of my life in the greater Chicagoland area. I did my undergraduate work in Baptist Bible College in Clarks Summit, PA, receiving a Bachelors in Pre-Seminary in 2008. Currently, I am enrolled at Westminster Seminary California, Escondido, and am scheduled to graduate in 2013 with a Masters in Divinity. I am married and have two children. My wife's name is Jana, and my two girls' names are Lydia and Ellyn. I am truly blessed.

I am from the Pacific NW (Tacoma WA) and received my B.A. from the University of Washington where I studied communication and video production. However, a strong interest in theology and an ardent desire to defend the doctrine of justification by faith alone sent me to pursue a seminary education. I am presently an M.Div student at Westminster Seminary California and plan to graduate in 2013.

I was born in Dayton, New Jersey, later moving with my family to Columbus, Ohio where I spent most of my life. While attending a private Christian academy, I became a "Calvinist," and yet still held to my native Dispensationalism. I did not become Reformed until my second year of college in Pennsylvania at Baptist Bible College, where I was introduced more fully to the theology of the Reformation and her creeds, being carried to her church by the Gospel.
I received a Bachelor of Science in Bible with an emphasis on philosophy and theology in 2008. During my last year of college, I attended an Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church in Dickson City, PA. Upon graduating I returned to Columbus, OH and became a member of Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I moved to Southern California in 2009 to attend Westminster Seminary. I am currently a 2nd year Master of Divinity student and expect to graduate in 2013.

I was raised on a farm in Ohio and later moved to Montana where I met my bride Autumn. I attended Ohio University for my first undergraduate degree and later attended Carroll College for a degree in Finance. I am currently in the M.Div program at Westminster Seminary California and plan to graduate in the spring of 2014. My wife and I have two children Jonah Marcus and Anna Joy. We are thankful for God's grace toward us in Christ and for Christ United Reformed Church.
