Role at TCA: My role has many facets but is ultimately one of seeking God's direction for His school, and depending on Him to get us there.

Why did you decide TCA is the place for you? There are so many reasons I'm excited to be at TCA. Ultimately I'm here because I believe God called me here. Eph. 3:20-21: Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
