At age 12, my family and I left Ohio to serve as missionaries in St. Petersburg, Russia. While there, I not only learned to speak and read Russian fluently but was called into the ministry myself serving as co-pastor and assistant director. After 15 years, I returned to the U.S. furthering my education at Liberty University and Andersonville Theological Seminary.  I hold a Bachelor and Master's in Theology and a Doctorate in Ministry and reside in Michigan.  I'm now working on a degree in Divinity with plans to become a Professor of Theology.  I continue to write in my spare time.
