Bio
I am the youngest of five children, born near Philadelphia, Pa, attended Penn State University and graduated with a BA in English in 1985... From there I jumped directly into the ministry of the Presbyterian Church (USA), receiving an MDiv degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1988 and a DMin from Columbia Theological Seminary in 2008. My thesis for the latter degree dealt with Pastor As Struggling Poet--and the thoughts generated during that time have landed me where I currently brood: that is, after 23 years of actively serving the institutional church as an ordained pastor, I have joined the ranks of the MFA students at Eastern Wa Univ., where I hope to hone my skills, gifts, syntax as a poet. I am a husband, a father of two boys and in 2002 I lost my ring finger in a freak accident while re-stringing a soccer net. Hence: Nine Fingers! And embodied, proleptic-theo-poetics!
