About
I am from Fresno, as is my wife, and we still live here with our two daughters. We both went to school at FPU as well. I have studied philosophy, theology, and communication for the whole of my academic career. I have two main concerns: first, making sure that the questions in philosophy and theology are not relegated to the ivory tower--the content of the debates is practical and must be communicable (read: understandable) to everyone because it is meant to be good news and not some gnostic secret knowledge. The second concern has to do with the ways in which God communicates with us and how we communicate that fact with others under the title of the rhetoric of witness.
