Upon graduating from Moody I returned to my home church for five years as an assistant pastor. I taught adult Sunday School, co-lead the youth ministry, and preached occasionally. While I enjoyed preaching and teaching, I found myself drawn to the more interpersonal aspects of ministering to people. Thus, I pursued counseling as my vocation.

This led me to Colorado Christian University where I received a Master of Arts in Counseling under the direction of Doctors Tom Varney and Larry Crabb. Here, I worked at the university counseling service, counseling students who presented with such problems as depression and childhood sexual abuse. I also counseled individuals at the Denver Rescue Mission who struggled with drug and alcohol addictions.

After graduation, I moved to Dallas to join the staff of the Center for Biblical Counseling, where I counseled under the supervision of Bruce Edstrom, LPC, LMFT. As a staff counselor, I facilitated groups and worked with adolescent and adult individuals and couples.

I have over 8 years of professional counseling experience, working through a variety of contexts - individual, marital, and group counseling, retreats and seminars. My specialties are:

• Sexual abuse
• Marital and pre-marital counseling
• Depression, anxiety, and emotional issues
• Same-sex attractions
• Parenting
• Addictions

I enjoy strong coffee and bluegrass music, and I am a passionate fan of the Kansas State Wildcats, whose websites I check on a regular basis for the latest news. I am an avid reader whose wife is coming to terms with the stacks of books beside my chair at home. I live in the Dallas area with my wife, Susanne, and our daughter. I have also started a blog - you can read it here by clicking on the button below.
