M.Div., Westminster Theological Seminary

PhD Candidate, Westminster Theological Seminary

Jeff came to faith in Christ in 1983 having been raised in a Christian home. When he came to faith in Christ, he also sensed a call to ministry and in his context, that involved service as a minister in a Wesleyan-Arminian denomination. Jeff served as a pastor for eight years from 1986 to 1994 and after that time became Reformed. Shortly thereafter Jeff was exposed to the writings of Cornelius Van Til and saw his apologetic method as the natural outgrowth of Reformed theology. In 1997 Jeff and his family moved to Philadelphia, PA so that he could commence his MDiv studies at Westminster Theological Seminary. Jeff graduated from that program in 2000 and then began the PhD program in apologetics/historical and theological studies with which he is still involved. Jeff’s interests are legion, but he is especially interested in epistemology, systematics, biblical and historical theology. Jeff’s special area of focus is the philosophical theology of Jonathan Edwards. In addition to his academic pursuits Jeff served as an intern in the Presbyterian Church in America before moving over to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in which he is currently ordained and installed as Teacher of the Congregation at Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Ringoes, NJ. Jeff has been married since 1990 and has two wonderful daughters.
