My writing has been published or is forthcoming in The Saturday Evening Post, Commonweal, Plough, Viewpoint, Dappled Things, Church Life Journal, Adelaide Literary Magazine, Fare Forward, and more. My short story “Phantom Limb” received an honorable mention for the J.F. Powers Prize for Short Fiction.
I run a Substack newsletter called Ends in Mind, where I write about topics related to culture, technology, Christian spirituality, the arts, work and leisure, and more. It explores how best to keep the “ends in mind” when it comes to human flourishing in our current cultural moment.
