  • My Story

    When you grow up knowing you can talk (too much) and you like playing with electronic gadgets, it’s pretty clear you’re headed for a career in broadcasting. I once thought being a television reporter was all I ever wanted to do, but somewhere along the way I got interested in many different aspects of the media world and somehow landed in college teaching as the best place to both do the work, and study and talk about it. Through more than 30 years of college teaching, primarily at Christian universities, I’ve keyed in to the communicative gifts God gives all of us. For those who are just better at writing, speaking, listening, and capturing the stories of others through media and just can’t figure out why they’re drawn to this crazy field, I love helping unlock those abilities and shaping them for God’s purposes.
