I’ve been in some sort of Bible class since I was born.

I went to children’s and youth classes at least twice a week at my childhood church.

I went to college and majored in biblical studies. And just for fun, I got master’s and doctorate degrees in similar fields.

But I have so much more to learn, like the rest of us.

I’m married to Aubrey, and we have 3 kids. We’ve served as foster parents, and I’m really interested in trauma-informed care for kids.

I love music and have played guitar since I was 10, and piano even longer. Apologies to my family who must endure my playing.

Here are some TED talks I could give at a moment’s notice with no preparation:

• Light Roast Coffee: Why Does Any Other Kind Exist?
• David Letterman is the Best Late Night Host of All Time
• Dave Matthews Band and Other Things That Were Better in the Previous Millennium
• Irregardless: Just Because You Say It, It Doesn’t Make it a Word

Back to why this site exists.

My job is helping people study and live out scripture better. Maybe this sounds like you:

• I love finding new things out – backgrounds, words, histories.
• I love exploring deeper meanings and sometimes even chasing rabbits.
• I love when something jumps out at me I hadn’t noticed before.
• I love learning how to read the Bible more responsibly, avoiding quick, easy answers, and considering many viewpoints and options.

If you want to engage scripture with me, welcome aboard!
