If you’d like to know more . . .

I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, the son of a disabled American veteran and a social worker. I’ve spent most of my adult life in northern California, though I also lived for some years on the East Coast and in Germany. My formal education spans the liberal arts, international affairs, law, and theology, with meaningful forays into science and technology. With my wife of twenty-two years, I have one young-adult child.

I authored I Am Sophia, which was published in 2021. This genre-straddling book, lauded as "visionary" and "gripping," combines a space-travel story with theological dialogues in an extended parable about God and Christianity’s future. I currently lead the weekly Theological Expeditions seminar at Trinity Cathedral. 

I am also an attorney and the general counsel to LunARC, a spacefaring international nonprofit.
