Interests

Outside of the classroom, I am blessed with a wonderful family. My wife, Kaitie, and my boys, Timothy and David. I enjoy spending time with them exercising, reading (especially science fiction and fantasy such as Dune or The Lord of the Rings), playing video games, and occasionally diving into strategic tabletop games (such as The Pokémon Trading Card Game or Risk) for a good intellectual challenge.

Why Cedarville?

I am proud to be part of the Cedarville University School of Pharmacy because it is one of the few places where I am not just allowed but expected to develop and implement my own faith as well as the faith of my students. My coworkers are my friends as well as my brothers and sisters in Christ. At Cedarville, I can push students towards excellence in effort and integrity in conduct to help them become the professionals that God has called them to be.
