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 Assistant for Adult Education and Small Groups at Christ Church Easton by day. And I am an Episcopal seminarian through the Iona Eastern Shore Collaborative with the Seminary of the Southwest.
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, 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.
