The purpose of this website is to share my understanding of the Bible in a way that is faithful, orthodox, and clear. I do not claim to be the most gifted or insightful voice in the world of biblical teaching. There are many who possess greater knowledge and ability than I do. My hope, however, is simply to serve by explaining God’s Word carefully and plainly for anyone who desires to grow in their understanding of Scripture.

 

I received my education at Multnomah Bible College, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Literature in 1996. For thirty years, I taught history in private and  public education, serving students from middle school through Advanced Placement courses, including AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP Government and Politics, and AP Psychology. Throughout those years, my love for teaching and my love for Scripture remained deeply intertwined.

 

I reside in Camas, Washington, with my exceptional wife, Julie, and am blessed with three wonderful children. I currently serve as a pastor at my local church, where I teach multiple Bible study groups and continue to learn alongside those I shepherd.

 

My desire is not to impress, but to illuminate — to help others see the beauty, coherence, and transforming power of God’s Word as clearly as possible.
