Thanks for stopping by my web home. I live with my wife Diane and our two boys, Garrett and Andres in Dubuque, Iowa, where I serve as Professor of Youth, Culture & Mission at Wartburg Theological Seminary. I drive a Jeep, paddle a Bell, work on a Mac, root for the Cardinals (as in the St. Louis baseball club), and love reading the prose of Wendell Berry and the poetry of Mary Oliver. Honestly, I'll be pretty sad when the story of LOST comes to an end this season.
