“Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.”

— Frederick Buechner

I’m a writer, editor, and communications director.

I believe humans are meaning-making creatures. I believe our wounds can be a source of healing for others. I believe the meek shall inherit the earth. I believe the stewardship of mystery is a holy calling. I believe our stories are worth remembering. I believe in the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

On this website, I share my work in its various forms—essays, short films, and book reviews, to name a few.

I’m glad you’re here.
