I graduated from Wilmington College and the Earlham School of Religion.  I've worked as a local church pastor, denominational executive, seminary faculty member, and go-cart track operator.

I live on Ploughshares Farm, which is fifty acres of Indiana farmland that is being reclaimed for native hardwood forests and warm season prairie grasses.
