About

I am a philosopher, a scholar, a teacher, a husband, and father. Most importantly, I am a follower of Christ. I believe that Jesus is man’s greatest need and our highest good. As C.S. Lewis, one of my favorite writers,  puts it:

“God wills our good, and our good is to love Him (with that responsive love proper to creatures) and to love Him we must know Him: and if we know Him, we shall in fact fall on our faces.”[1]

So, God wills our good–and our good is to love Him–and to love Him is to know Him. My passion in life is to present to the world Jesus–in all his brilliance and beauty. This website, and the blog specifically, will provide a place for me to share with you my thinking as I pursue Christ as my greatest need and highest good. Join me on the journey!

I am married to Ethel and have four wonderful kids–Austin, Madeleine, Travis, and Joshua.

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion and the Director of the M.A. in Philosophy of Religion at Palm Beach Atlantic University. In addition, I am the founder and president of the Two Tasks Institute and a  past (2019-2020) Visiting Fellow at the Henry Center for Theological Understanding at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

I have a Masters in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics from Talbot School of Theology and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Purdue University.
