Home
I am in my third year of teaching at Freed-Hardeman University. My academic work is focused primarily on ancient biblical scholarship. In particular, my current interests lie in how early Christian authors utilized Philo of Alexandria in their interpretation of Genesis. My teaching at Freed-Hardeman centers around the Old Testament and the languages of the Bible.
