• In Spring 1998, I was baptized as a member of Grace Presbyterian in Norman, OK, having come to faith in Christ in college while studying computers.
• In May 1999, I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and worked as a programmer for Hewlett Packard in the next 3 years.
• In Fall 2002, having also been a part-time seminary student at Westminster Theological Seminary in Dallas since 1999, various paths led me to apply as a member of Wycliffe with a desire to use computer technology to help others understand the Bible.
• In May 2003, I became a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators called to serve Bible translation by developing language software.
• On Dec 13, 2004, Wycliffe officially seconded me to SIL to begin my assignment at the International Linguistics Center in Dallas, where I have served for over 3 years.

Thanks, Eric, for the work you do. You are contributing to the greatest acceleration of the pace of Bible translation ever witnessed by the Church. Vision 2025 is possible! Bob Creson President Wycliffe Bible Translators USA
