I have almost two decades of experience as a professional pastor, and have the Master of Divinity, the Doctor of Ministry (whose course of study is heavy on sociology), and the Master of Social Work. I also have several years' experience as a high school teacher, mainly of Spanish, although I have also taught English and communication (and am licensed in all three fields). I have ministered in ten different congregations professionally, and have taught in four high schools. I have performed social work responsibilities in a homelessness day resource center and in a high school wellness center.My strengths are in leadership, team management, planning, teaching, writing, public speaking, and social work, particularly clinical counseling.I am fully bilingual, speaking English and Spanish. I have an intermediate ability with German. I have a working knowledge of Latin, Koiné Greek, and Biblical Hebrew.
