Why I Teach at Regent
I have been blessed with the opportunity to develop and teach compositional and creative writing courses here at Regent and it is a constant source of pleasure for me to serve students in their academic endeavors. The Regent community is unparalleled in excellence at all levels and I give thanks daily to the Lord for leading me here. It is also a delight to be a part of our constantly growing environment. Running into students on campus is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship that I treasure dearly.
Biography
Service activities and our church softball and volleyball teams keep my wife and I active and, when we're not watching our eight year old play Upwards basketball and soccer, I enjoy playing both of these sports in Virginia Beach and in Norfolk.
