Who am I[edit]

I am originally from the Quad City area of Iowa and Illinois. I currently live in Maryland near Washington, DC. I have a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and an advanced degree in theology.

Interests[edit]

Given my academic background, my interests include the historical, theological and liturgical aspects of the Catholic Church, as well as other Christian denominations. I also have an interest in art and architecture, especially as they are applied to Christian worship. Other interests include American History, especially the Civil War, history of Iowa, 19th and early 20th century European immigration, and the two world wars.

Any articles that I write or edit are basically those that cover these interests.
