Attending Corban University as students and building relationships with faculty had a tremendous impact on the lives of my wife and me. Teaching at Corban has been a blessing to our family, and the lifelong relationships that I have been able to build with students, now alumni, have been a gift from God. There is no other place that I would rather teach than Corban. It is truly a place where our faith is deepened and our commitment to ‘life and career as ministry’ is developed as we study, work, and live life together.
