About

From Peoria, Illinois. In the UK since 2012.

Life has included a few surprises. I’ve had the gift of traveling throughout the United States and Europe as a journalist, academic, musician, and minister. My wife and I moved to Oxford from Cambridge during the pandemic.

My first degrees were in biblical studies (BA, Evangel University) and theology (MDiv, Harvard). I finished my doctorate in history at the University of Cambridge in 2016.

I currently serve as ‘Priest Vicar’ at Oxford’s cathedral, and I do a little teaching, examining, and research for the Faculty of History and the Faculty of Theology and Religion.
