I’m a writer, artist, and creative guide. My work explores how wonder shapes us, how stories convey truth, and how the sacred often resides 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 from King’s College London, have written four books on spiritual formation and cultural beauty, and am currently working on projects for university and traditional nonfiction presses, as well as two novels that I’m passionate about.

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 Waxhaw, North Carolina, with my wife and three daughters and a goldendoodle named Cash—yes, after Johnny.
