Biography

I am a global soul, born in Canada but raised in Latin America and now wander the globe (intentionally) doing “kingdom stuff”.  Born to C&MA international workers, I grew up in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and worked in Bolivia, Mexico and Argentina.  I have been involved in establishing communities of faith in a variety of places around the world.  On returning to Canada I assumed the role of Professor of Global Studies and Mission at Ambrose University. When not teaching I enjoy leaving Calgary for various corners of the globe to explore, research, minister, and learn. My hobby is creating NGOs (Not for Profit Organizations) that seek to address issues affecting the global community.
