I am a professor at the Campbell University School of Law in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. For seventeen years before joining the faculty at Campbell, I taught at Regent University School of Law in Virginia Beach. I have an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Dordt University in Sioux Center, Iowa and a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. I also received an M.A. in theological studies from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida. For 15 years my legal practice emphasized creditors’ rights and bankruptcy, and I represented secured creditors, unsecured creditors committees, and debtors in bankruptcy. I have taught courses in Contracts, International Business Transactions, Sales, Secured Transactions, Comparative Law, and Bankruptcy. I also regularly lead a seminar on Christian Perspectives on Legal Thought. I have spoken at legal conferences on developments in the law and at symposia on legal theory and history. I have published in the areas of secured transactions and bankruptcy law, the history of the law of contracts, as well as law and religion.My goals are to continue to teach with excellence and pursue scholarly research in the areas of contract theory, bankruptcy, comparative law, and law and religion.Specialties: Secured transactions and bankruptcy law; comparative law; legal history and theory.
