I became allergic to the chemicals in my previous woodworking business. At the same time I graduated with my Master of Divinity degree and finished my internship at Mount Airy Bible Church in 2004. I was then offered to come on as a Pastor. Prior to that, I had spent 11 years mastering Biblical Greek on my own.      

I said I would never work in a church with contemporary music. Now I play the drums. I am as fluent in Greek as I am in English.
