Welcome.

I’m a writer, theologian, and creative guide—drawn to beauty as the language of the soul.

My work explores how wonder forms us, how stories carry truth, and how the sacred often hides in the quiet corners of our lives. Whether through mentoring, teaching, or writing, I help people live more attentively in a world that has forgotten how to see.

I hold a Ph.D. in theology, have written four books on spiritual formation and cultural beauty, and am currently working on projects for university and traditional nonfiction presses.

My research weaves together the literary imagination of C.S. Lewis, the metaphysics of longing, and the sacramental weight of everyday life.

I live in the Carolinas with my wife and three children, where we grow things slowly and pay attention to the light.

Drawn.

If you’ve felt the ache for something deeper—if you’re drawn to beauty, stillness, or meaning that doesn’t reduce—I’d love to walk alongside you. Through my writing, courses, and creative coaching, I help others recover their voice, rekindle joy, and live a more spacious, beautiful life.

If you’re curious, stay a while.
