I am a father, writer, runner, hiker, reader, follower of Christ, soul adventurer, longboard skateboarder, stand-up paddleboarder, kayaker, novice birder, sunrise chaser, daily coffee drinker, occasional beer sipper. I live in Easton on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where I am the Minister for Adult Education and Communications at Christ Church Easton. I am an ordained transitional Deacon in the Episcopal Diocese of Easton, working towards ordination as a priest.
I’ve been doing some form of creative writing since I was 14, when I scrawled a crappy poem in the margin of a notebook during world history class. I was an English Literature and Philosophy major at Washington College, have a graduate studies certificate in religious studies from Iona Eastern Shore and the Seminary of the Southwest, and have written for art and cultural museums, non-profit organizations, the United States Coast Guard, and for magazines and publications including Trail Runner Magazine, Tidewater Times Magazine, Shore Monthly, and Eastern Shore Savvy. In 2007, I started a blog about running and trail running that turned into a blog about life. Those adventures, thoughts, and discoveries continue here.
