About:
I grew up in Ghana. At the end of my undergraduate program and national service, I proceeded to the United Kingdom for my graduate and postgraduate studies. After my terminal degree, I taught at institutions of higher learning in England and Kenya before moving to the DMV to take up a teaching position at the Washington Adventist University. I began as an adjunct at Leland in 2001 and assumed a full-time position as Associate Professor in 2005. In addition to my current position as Professor of Divinity, I also serve as Associate Pastor at Parkwood Baptist Church, Annandale, VA. I preach and teach God's Word in the NorthStar and BGAV churches and serve on a couple of committees. I'm married to Linda, an Attorney at Law in VA, and we're blessed with two children, Chloe and Daniel T.
