I grew up in San Diego but I’ve lived in Massachusetts, Texas, Illinois, and even Germany and Switzerland. Next stop: Italy! My undergrad degree is in electrical and computer engineering (which surprises no one who looks at me), after which I took the natural step of getting a PhD in biblical studies (so I understand your indecision). I now teach things like REL 200 The Story of Christian Scripture, which I’ll teach in Florence. My wife Joy and I have two sons (currently in middle school and high school), who are excited to practice their soccer skills in Italy. I’m passionate about sushi, dark chocolate, and running (so that I can eat more sushi and dark chocolate). Ci vediamo a Firenze!
