About Me

If you already know me, personally, then you’ll know I don’t fit into a predictable mold. Like you, I must live (and seek to thrive) in the same rapidly-changing world. Things are NOT what they were! Right? Although chaotic and unpredictable, I seek to be consistently honest, clear, and at peace, managing an independent way of thinking. Grace and gratitude in the here and now, go a very long way indeed.

I love meeting new people and learning new things. I’m continually astonished about how much I don’t know—like I’m just getting started. And then, there’s all the beauty—an excellent place to focus one’s attention, as opposed to all that isn’t beautiful. Which is plenty. I strongly value free speech, including the equally free (and courteous) exchange of ideas, and the freedom of individual conscience. I seek to be compassionate and thoughtful, maintaining a playful sense of humor, coupled with a genuinely loving heart. And (thankfully) a soul overflowing with curiosity and creativity. I’m a communicator, a problem-solver, a deep-thinker, a tenacious researcher, writer, painter, visual designer, and some say, a reasonably good photographer (with my smartphone of course). I am also a bit of a poet, a singer and a novice guitar player. There’s a reason I don’t have a record contract.

Fascinated with the historical timeline of the Bible, I’m also quite interested in the chronology, archaeology and geography of the primary biblical lands (ie, Israel, Jordan, Sinai, and Northern Egypt) with a special emphasis on the long and storied history of Jerusalem, from deepest antiquity down to the present. I’ve written articles directly associated with biblical lands topics, all of which can be found (and downloaded) at my public Academia.edu website. I’ve also had the privilege of leading tours to Israel and Jordan, (which I hope continues) as it allows me to directly share what I’ve learned in my research. In 2022, I published my first book, The Redemption Corridor. You can see a description of it here. I am working on a new title due for publication in Spring 2026.

I’m also VERY attracted to being out in wilderness - especially mountains and deserts. I have great affection for southern Brewster County out in far West Texas, especially Big Bend National Park, where I had the privilege of living and working for 3 years in another lifetime.

Thank again for stopping by.
