About me

Location Phoenix, AZ, United States
Introduction My current project, “Jesus on Main Street“, equips church leaders and church planters to bring the healing effects of the gospel to local economies. Building on my PhD in Urban Studies and an MBA , I bring the following knowledge domains and specializations within reach of churches, denominations, and faith-based organizations: reimagining religious spaces, community economic development, neighborhood change (gentrification, poverty, segregation). I keep sharp teaching community and economic development courses at Portland State as an Adjunct Professor, and am also a Fellow at the Ormond Center at Duke Divinity School.
