  4. Salvation Experience: I was raised in a Christian home with my Mom as a Methodist and my Dad was a Baptist. At the age of 9, I trusted Christ at summer camp and was baptized at Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL. I was pretty active in church until college when I disengaged because I felt that I was moving around and didn’t have time to be involved. It was only when Ann and I moved back to Athens that I became re-engaged with church and started practicing what I believed.
  5. Work/ministry Experience: I am currently a Professor at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy where I enjoy teaching and interacting with the students. I have served as a teacher for the College ministry for several years and have been active in the music ministry.
