Troy truly has a love for North Central and the mission of preparing Pentecostal leaders. "I continue to respect the unity NCU’s employees, administration and leaders demonstrate towards providing an environment that allows young people to explore their future while learning God’s purpose for their lives," states Troy. He recognizes that even though the institution has grown to become a University and has greatly expanded programs, it has not lost its personal compassionate focus.

Troy is married to Becky [Dubbels] (‘86) and has two daughters: Morgan (14) and Mikayla (9).
