Originally from the United States, I grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I heard the gospel during my college years: coal miners that I met during summer work were the first to make it clear to me. I later heard the same at a small Baptist church, which I occasionally visited during the summers. (I still remember being struck and surprised by a sermon on the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. As much as any one event, I count that sermon as the cause of real interest in the content and message of the Bible.) Several months after graduating from college, I believed the gospel. That was 1995.
My family has lived in a country in South Asia since 2002. My wife and I have four children, two of which is now back in the United States, attending college. We are members of a Baptist church in the Boise, Idaho area. For a few different reasons—mainly relating to security in South Asia—I have kept my name off this website.
