Like most adolescent atheists turned Episcopal priests, I'm a bridge-builder masquerading as a provocateur. Also on the resume: basketball coach, history teacher, recovery planner, Young Life staff, summer camp program architect, diocesan youth/young adults officer, seminary instructor, consultant, church planter, and Phoenix Suns ball-boy. Life roles include Jesus follower, husband, dad, and wanna be round the world sailor. Each of those roles and experiences has left me more in wonder at the grandeur of the One who made us and is calling us home through a cross and empty tomb.
