Throughout his career, John has worked in two different realms: pastoral ministry and academics. In both fields, he has been blessed with opportunities to work with teenagers and young adults, helping them discover truth, beauty, and goodness. His educational accomplishments include a M.A. in Humanities, concentrating in United States History, as well as a B.A., M.A. and D.Min. focusing on biblical studies, theology, and ministry.
John resides in southwest Virginia with his wonderful wife and two sons, whom they homeschool. He loves a high-quality cup of coffee and a good board game to play against his wife Cindy, who, more often than not, ends up defeating John.
