John brings his passion for helping others deepen their relationship with the Triune God to his role at TMU–IBEX, where he encourages biblical study in the land where Scripture unfolded. With over 20 years of ministry experience, he has served as a Senior Pastor in Maine and as an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem. Currently pursuing a doctorate in Old Testament at Bar Ilan University in Israel, John remains active in ministry by preaching regularly at his local congregation and serving on the leadership team of the Young Adult Fellowship.

Before entering full-time ministry, John built a diverse professional background, working as a Patent Examiner for the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Eli Lilly & Company. Married to his German wife, Dorothee, John is a devoted father of two. In his free time, he enjoys running half marathons and exploring Israel and Germany’s rich history and culture.
