What’s your deal?
I am captivated by big, beautiful ideas. Particularly Love. I am interested in the God who is love, the cosmic mysticism of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and the big ideas of Open and Relational theology. I wonder out loud how Love reshapes our inherited faith stories as genuinely good news for a post-Christian quantum world.

In the words of the psalmist, Pete Townshend “Who are you?”
I have often been characterized as a thoughtful mystic, an accidental activist, and a person who possesses an intuitive sense of empathy. For over 35 years, I have been fortunate to share my life with my wonderful partner, Andrea, and together we have raised three remarkable sons, aged 32, 28, and 18. In my spare time, I indulge in the simple joy of kite flying, which has become a cherished hobby.
Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in Spiritual Formation and a Master of Arts in Theology and Culture. My studies delve into the cosmic vision of love articulated by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, as well as Thomas Jay Oord’s concept of Essential Kenosis (Love). Through this lens, I seek to develop new, vibrant faith narratives that are deeply rooted in a thoughtful and robust theology of Love.
Professionally, I serve as a Spiritual Director and Companion, walking alongside individuals who are navigating the complexities of faith. I help people find ways to embrace their Christian identity while disentangling themselves from outdated or ill-fitting notions of God, church, and the broader world. My aim is to facilitate a deeper, more enriching experience of life for those who seek it.
In addition, as a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute, I provide compassionate support for individuals grappling with various forms of loss. I walk with them on their journey, helping them to process their grief and find healing.
As a Kite Monger, I operate an e-commerce retail kite shop, curating a diverse collection of kites—from simple single-line kites to intricate multi-line sport kites and stunning larger show kites. Flying kites is not just a pastime for me; it is a joyful release that connects me to the elements and the beauty of the sky.
Why become a Paid Subscriber?
Great question! I don't offer special membership levels, perks, or paid access to myself. I know, I might be doing it all wrong. :-) Perhaps the best reason to become a paid subscriber is that you appreciate, feel encouraged by, or are inspired by what I share.
Maybe you, too, believe that love will save the world, that we need better stories, and that love plays a significant role in what it means to be fully human and fully alive.
A paid subscription helps me continue to share my work, and maybe this is something you feel is worth supporting.
