After being born and raised in Kansas, I moved to the Left Coast and have remained here ever since. Following interludes in Portland, Oregon, and Berkeley, California, for undergraduate and graduate school respectively, I now serve as the pastor of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Longview, Washington, a wonderful town about an hour's drive north of Portland. I love both my work and where I get to do my work, and, God willing, will be doing this strange work called ministry for a long time to come.
I'm a basket-to-casket member of the Disciples of Christ, but my interests in church and ministry are far-flung, encompassing many traditions, interpretations, and topics, and I hope you will find that reflected in my writing here. My writing has appeared in The Christian Century, Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Christ & Cascadia and, like my preaching, it aims to guide, inspire, even challenge, but to never threaten.
On June 7, 2014, I joyfully married my wife, Carrie. We are the proud adoptive parents of two little rescue furballs, a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix named Sir Henry Wiggly (that's him and me in the photo!) and a poodle/Bichon Frisee mix named Dame Frida Koala.
