Teaching Philosophy


I seek to form minds with Christian wisdom. I prepare students to navigate through and to contend with our modern world, without sacrificing principle, so that they might serve family, friends, nation, and church.

Statement of Faith


I affirm the Westminster Confession of Faith.
