I am a white, Appalachian, male (WAM for short). I played college baseball at Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC where I received a BA in Political Science (1999). I graduated from West Virginia University with a MS in Phyiscal Education with an emphasis in Athletic Coaching Education (2001). I graduated from Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education with a MDiv (2007). I am a minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA). I am married to Beloved (who is also the associate pastor at a church in Redmond where we live). I work at First Presbyterian Church in Bend, Oregon. I am ADHD and extroverted. I am a type one diabetic and prefer stream of consciousness as opposed to well formed thoughts.

I am a DIE HARD West Virginia Mountaineer fan! Let’s Go…

I was in school for 21 years of my life, which means that I know for sure that I don’t know a lot.
