After high school, he went on to be a missionary for six years (Cambodia, Brazil, Myanmar, North Korea, New Zealand). He has a heart for theological education and ecumenism. If he were to give one word of advice for GCTS students, it would be this: “Don’t share your grades.” Especially for the language classes (seems to be shared the most).
