Bio:
I am a Clinical Associate Professor at Loyola University Chicago (since 2013) and the Interim Dean of Loyola’s Institute of Pastoral Studies (IPS). I grew up in North Texas (Ft. Worth), worked on my parent’s farm, studied business at Texas Christian University, and briefly operated my own business before deciding to return to school to pursue theology and ministry formation. I completed the Master of Theological Studies degree at TCU and then the Ph.D. (Catholic Moral Theology and Social Ethics) at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX. I convinced an extraordinary woman named Jennifer to marry me in 1999 and we have two wonderful girls (one in high school and one in college).
Walking with our students at IPS as they form themselves for service and ministry as chaplains, licensed counselors, community organizers, spiritual directors, youth ministers, and many more is a dream come true for me. I am committed to the process of encounter, listening, and shared discernment for action as a pedagogy and a way to catalyze the work of the Spirit in people’s lives, and their lives in community. I am thrilled to be a part of the CSPL board and appreciate the opportunity to serve with such extraordinary people and contribute with this kind of work in a new way and in a new context!
