My journey from a sinner to a child of God began in December of 2006 when I first attended the Warren Alliance Church in my hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania. The Warren Alliance Church is part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination.  I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior in January of 2007 and was baptized in February.  I hold a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford and a M.A. in Theological Studies from Liberty University. Along with a secular job, I also serve as an Asst. Pastor of Evangelism at the Warren Alliance Church.

Studying the Christian faith has been a wonderful experience for me.  My main interests include the Old Testament, orthodox Christian theology and doctrine, and apologetics.  Working at CARM (starting in early 2009) has also stimulated my interest in philosophical theology and logic.  I hold to a Reformed Theology and enjoy reading the works of Spurgeon, Arthur Pink, John Calvin, and the Puritans.  Two of my main influences have been John MacArthur and Dr. Ed Hindson.  Their love for God, level of scholarship, and desire and ability to defend the truth of God’s Word have been models for me in my journey and have shaped who I have become.  Perhaps the biggest influence on my development as a believer, however, has been my Pastor, the Rev. John Mechtly, Jr.  He taught me what it meant to be a Christian and he taught me how to pray, and without his mentoring and discipleship I would not be who I am today.

Working for CARM has been a blessing for me because of my passion to defend the truth of the Word of God as well as to help my brothers and sisters in Christ become better acquainted with their faith.  To God be the glory!
