Gott Hall (Male)
Gott Hall is the male half of Woody-Gott, sharing a dorm lobby with its sister dorm, Woody Hall. Every student in Woody-Gott will have the opportunity to create lasting relationships, pursue academic excellence and hear the gospel daily. The opportunity of having both male and female residents fosters an environment where we grow socially through daily living. We encourage one another to be diligent to our callings and think outside ourselves. Most importantly, we strive to make known the love of Christ through our actions and words.

Alma Mater: SBU
Degree: Biblical Studies
College for a young Christian is a rich opportunity to grow and mature in the Gospel in unexpected ways. That is why after completing my undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies from SBU and earning my Master of Divinity from Duke Divinity, I returned to SBU to serve in the residence halls Woody and Gott, along with my wife, Anna, our son, John Mark, and our border collie, Kincaid.
Working in Residence Life and living in the residence halls with students affords RDs plenty of opportunities to offer hospitality to students in their home away from home, while also offering plenty of moments that challenge students to think more deeply about their faith in Christ. I believe that the residence halls are the locus for Christian transformation during a student’s time in college, so as their RD I am excited to participate in this transformative season.
And, on a less lofty note, I also simply enjoy stepping out of my apartment to play an impromptu game of table tennis in our commons area, building campfires with students on the weekends, or inviting students into our apartment for the regular board game night.
