About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Paris, Norway and then on to South Africa

ABOUT ME

After spending 8 years working with junior high and high school students in Idaho, I moved east to New Jersey to pursue graduate studies at Princeton Seminary in 2004. I'm currently working on a Ph.D. in practical theology with an emphasis on adolescent education and formation. My current research interests include the impact of technology on young people's conceptions of belonging; faith formation and adolescent brain development; and spiritual practices and teenagers.

PHILOSOPHY

If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing
