Why do you enjoy teaching at SBU? Since I haven't started yet, I can't really answer this question, but I have no doubt that I will enjoy interacting with students and sharing my passion for free-market economics with students.
What are some of your faith dedications? My wife, Amanda, and I have served in our church in Columbia for the last six years and are really looking forward to finding a new church family in Bolivar. I have coached Upward Basketball the last five years and I love that ministry.
