More About Me

I am a trained spiritual director and theologian with a Master of Divinity from Baylor University’s George W. Truett Theological Seminary. I received my spiritual direction training through Nuos Formation Institute, where my work included attention to interpersonal neurobiology and the ways human beings are formed through relationships, practices, and embodied experience.

I am also a husband and father of four, and much of my own life with God is lived amid work, marriage, parenting, and the ordinary responsibilities of family and community. These commitments have deepened my conviction that attentiveness to God is not reserved for unusually quiet lives. God often meets and forms us within the lives we are already living.

My interest in spiritual direction grows from a broader concern with Christian formation: how people learn to recognize and respond to God, how our relationships and communities shape us, and how faith becomes integrated into the whole of our lives. I am especially interested in the intersection of theology, spiritual practice, psychology, and the social sciences—not as competing accounts of the human person, but as resources that can help us attend more carefully to the complexity of human life before God.

My approach is rooted in Christian theology and contemplative practice. I understand spiritual direction as a form of prayerful companionship rather than a process of giving advice, prescribing answers, or managing another person’s spiritual life. This is a slow and attentive work. Together, we listen for what is emerging in your experience of God, your relationships, your desires, your questions, and the ordinary circumstances of your life.

I am an Anglican and an aspirant for holy orders in the Diocese of Churches for the Sake of Others. Anglican worship and spirituality have deepened my appreciation for Scripture, prayer, sacramental life, and the formative wisdom of the historic church. At the same time, I seek to offer a hospitable space for people from a range of ecclesial backgrounds.

I am drawn to spiritual direction because we all need somewhere we can speak honestly about our lives with God without being hurried toward certainty or easy resolution. Spiritual direction makes room for faith and doubt, clarity and confusion, consolation and dryness, longing and disappointment.

At the heart of my practice is the conviction that God is already present and at work before either of us arrives. The purpose of spiritual direction is not to produce God’s activity, but to become more attentive to it. This involves a form of three-way listening: you listen to your life and to God, I listen to you and to God, and together we attend to what God may already be doing, revealing, or inviting.

My role is to accompany you with careful attention, thoughtful questions, prayer, and trust in the God who is always working ahead of us.
