About Me

Well, I teach religion at Susquehanna University. I've been married to Neneth since 1998, and we have two boys: Jeffy and Aaron.

I run a service-learning program to the Philippines and try to find time to do research on Lutheran theology as well as the intersection of Zen Buddhism and Japanese martial arts. And... that's me.
