In 2012, Andrew earned his Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary in Spiritual Formation & Cross-Cultural Ministry. 

Andrew has significant experience in Christian outreach and missions, working in the field of “business-as-mission” as the manager of a coffee shop in Dallas and as the Christian Community Relations Director at a Christian mission hospital in the United Arab Emirates, where he also served as pastor of the Chapel of the Living Water.

Andrew sees his leadership role with the Burke-Paine Society fitting perfectly into his educational leadership role, as an opportunity to bring first-hand civic knowledge into his classroom, while promoting the conditions in our nation that any good classroom has: peaceful, productive, and thoughtful communication for the good of all.
