My Calling

I believe that there is a Biblical way of conducting business and that as followers of Jesus our behavior and dedication to our jobs and colleagues should reflect that difference in tangible ways. I believe that as God's people we are uniquely positioned to make a difference in the world through serving others and investing the wealth he enables us to create in ways that would bring glory to himself. With that as a backdrop, I believe that God has placed me here at Cedarville to share this vision and influence the next generation of business leaders to make an eternal difference wherever they find themselves serving.
