prophecies & promises of the Book of Mormon. He also served for
seven years as the senior scientific researcher on the book titled, “Universal Model”
by Dean Sessions, a natural sciences textbook. The first volume of over

2018, with volume three to follow. It’s over 2,500 pages of “New
Millennial Science.”
Researcher
He began his study of issues surrounding the controversy over DNA and the Book of Mormon in 2003 which led to a study of the origins of proposed geographical settings of the Book of Mormon.

He is passionate about sharing his research of the Book of Mormon Chronology with others.
Presenter

The FIRM Foundation sponsors two International Book of Mormon Evidence Expos and Conferences annually with additional regional conferences and events throughout the country and around the world bringing together dozens of the top LDS speakers for thousands of Latter-day Saints.
Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
