Hi and thanks for stopping by my personal site! Please click over to our ministry, Victory Church, which is the Antioch and church lab where we create and test ideas as related to healthy relationships, leadership development and church based economic development. It's a privilege to lead one of the greatest church's in America, Victory Church, and we have all kinds of stuff going on there. It's a hybrid church, school, LLC, foundation and over all crazy cool place filled with Jesus and hilarity. Victors (people engaged at Victory Church) are pretty incredible.

For over a decade, I've been involved in the Faith, Work and Economics movement most notably with Made to Flourish and where I started my career at the Acton Institute. Since Acton, I've had a varied leadership career as a lead pastor of two churches; ran two US Congressional Campaigns (7th-NJ); I'm helping out in a research tech firm; and founded two philanthropic foundations.
I'm an adjunct professor of strategic leadership and social ethics at Valley Forge & Southeastern Universities and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. At Valley Forge, I teach organizational and strategic research to executives and mid-level managers, at Southeastern we tackle the hard social issues of the day and at Gordon-Conwell I integrate economics to pastoral leadership. It's a lot of fun and I've been doing that for over a decade.
I'm currently, reading for a Ph.D. in practical theology & development at Universiteit Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, SA. I'm a life long student of theology and economics and studied at (M.A., M.A.R.) Gordon-Conwell & graduate work at Harvard, (M.P.A.P.) Rutgers, and (B.A.) Southeastern Universities as well as an Ordained Minister with the Assemblies of God. (Yes, I like to read.) I celebrate my wife & children -- we laugh a lot. In my spare time I coach U15 fútbol for the Tidewater Sharks, enjoy spicy Mexican food and love taking long weekends with my wife. On Monday, I'm studying in my prayer cave and on Friday's I'm "dissertationing".
Again, thanks for coming by and learning about Pastoring Faith, Work and Economics.
