My beginning with  Jesus

In my senior year of college, I met the love of my life.  I poured my whole life into this girl.  After graduating in Chemical Engineering from West Virginia University, I left for the University of Illinois for my PhD.  But I couldn't stay away.  In just two semesters at Illinois, I returned to West Virginia about 20 times to see her.  She got a job just below Wheeling WV, and so I decided – fairly sure that I was throwing away any chance at my dream job of Professor -- to return to Carnegie Mellon for graduate school.  But after just 1½ years, she broke off the relationship.  And I learned first-hand what it means to have your heart ripped out.  It was then that Jesus walked in.  He put a little Bible in my hand, and just reading the words in that Bible changed my course forever – gentle words that spoke to my broken heart, and powerful words that promised me a future.  God has since granted me my amazing wife Stephanie and a family.  And He did indeed call me to a professorship at Penn State, with a plan for my life.

 

My hope in Jesus Christ.  It's what helps me wake up every day ready to change the world.  If you have a question about my Christian hope, please see me or email me.  I would love to explain how the grace of God has changed my life.
