By divine appointment, God called me into teaching and led me to classical Christian education. I taught for one year at Covenant Classical Christian School in Columbia, SC before moving to the United Arab Emirates to live with my wife. We are currently in the process of obtaining her visa and should have it by the end of this year; once we have it, we’ll move back to the States. Although I would like to teach in the south, specifically Texas or South Carolina, I am very flexible and willing to go wherever Abba leads.
I adore teaching and cannot imagine doing anything else! The Lord has truly gifted me with this calling, although I still have a long way to go until I can confidently say that I am a good teacher. I am also flexible with what I teach. While my teaching degree is in elementary education and my connection with grammar school students is best towards the later years, I’ve discovered a passion for apologetics and PE, completing a master’s degree in exercise science and wellness to improve my personal health and coaching ability. I teach apologetics classes to my church congregation and have led the occasional group fitness class. I most desire to teach PE, but I am also a strong mathematician and have routinely tutored adolescents in math; I believe I would excel as a math teacher if given the chance.
Concerning extracurricular activities, at Covenant I coached the cross country and chess teams. A runner and chess player myself, I thoroughly enjoy challenging students to achieve more in their spheres of passion, always encouraging them to surpass their current limits and beat me someday. A Covenant parent once told me that I have a gift for coaching the day after his 2nd grade son beat him for the first time at a chess game! I believe a truly God-honoring teacher will desire to contribute meaningfully to the overall life of the school; I can do this with coaching and chess.
I’ve learned much about teaching during my time in the United Arab Emirates. I believe my experience here will provide me with a unique perspective when I return to classical Christian education. For example, I’ve witnessed firsthand the power of paideia and now understand why Islam is so captivating for billions of Muslims. Experiencing this has increased my understanding of the importance of paidaia in classical Christian education. In summary, I will contribute my absolute best to God’s kingdom work wherever He leads.

I am someone with an interest in teaching students about theology. I have a BA in Missions, an M.Div., an MA in Eastern Orthodox Theology, and a ThM (in all but thesis) which I hope to finish over the summer. I enjoy talking about theology. church history, and pastoral everyday applications of these things. I firmly believe that how one thinks theologically influences how a person lives and it is important to provide people with tools for that process. Helping people grasp theological concepts or articulating them in a way that makes sense has always been fun for me and I would like the opportunity to help others explore the wonders of theology as I have over the last 20 years. There is much that I have studied in theology and even more that I do not know, but that is part of the beauty of theology, because it shapes the world around us and yet we can never reach the end of the subject.
As for who I am on a personal level, I was raised in the Church of the Nazarene, studied for the better part of a decade in Nazarene institutions before exploring what I considered a gap in my knowledge of the church. This brought me to NY and a context I did not know. It also resulted in me becoming Eastern Orthodox, but with an appreciation of where I had come from, because without that I would not be where I am now. Many times the thinking of John and Charles Wesley still serve as a handle for theology. While, I am no longer Protestant, my knowledge and respect for Protestantism remains. Though there are points of theology where I may differ from Protestants, I believe we can still learn from each other and live in mutual respect.

My desire is to disciple the nations, beginning with the younger generations, bringing them into Christ’s church as faithful members of his body. When I first became a Christian, I had very little discipleship and people to hold me accountable. As a result, my early Christian walk was tumultuous. I do not want others, especially the younger group of Christians, to have the same experience. Discipleship begins in the church, but since the Lord’s Day is once a week, discipleship must continue throughout the week. Christian education is the perfect place for this kind of discipleship to happen.

Summary:
I want to work in education as a career as a high school art or history teacher. I recently graduated from college with a Bachelors of Arts. I majored with a Political Science, Philosophy, Economics, and Law degree and a minor in History. I have taught kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades religion, spelling, math, English, literature, history, led and assisted gym classes, and supervised lunches, recesses, and study halls. for St. Peter Lutheran School in Arlington Heights. I am investigating enrolling for a Masters in Teaching from National Louis University as my first choice school or Northeastern Illinois University as my second. I am learning from teachers at St. Peter how to manage a classroom. I am also inspired by administration leaders I have met. I could see myself working in there some day, if that’s where I am needed. I would also compete for physical education instructor positions. Extracurricularly, I can coach defensive backs in football, shooting guards in basketball, relays in track, and/or volleyball players.

I am a current Master of Arts in Teaching candidate at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, MI. To provide a bit of background on myself, I graduated with my B.A. in History from Hillsdale College in 2021, and I worked in banking and mortgage for a couple of years after graduation. After some consideration, prayer, and reflection, I decided that the financial sector was not providing the fulfillment and contribution to God’s Kingdom that I was seeking, so I enrolled in a teaching certification and master’s program at Calvin University. I will graduate in May, so I am seeking a teaching role for the 2025-2026 school year. As a student (both at Hillsdale and in a classical middle school program I attended), I appreciated how the classical model trains the student in diligence amidst a deep appreciation for the traditions that brought us to this point in history. I am fairly flexible as to what subjects I teach, but I will be certified in secondary (6-12) social studies upon my graduation. With my work at the bank, I am also interested in teaching economics or personal finance. I took college Latin and love the language, so I would also be open to adding Latin courses, although I would have to start out teaching at a more basic level (but I would be open to learning more to teach at a higher level in the future). I am a reformed Christian, and I deeply value the Christian community and my personal relationship with the Lord. I look forward to speaking with you!
