I am a writer, a choral musician, and an occasional preacher seeking ordination in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

I have published essays and interviews with a general theme falling in around food and theology. I generally follow the lectionary when serving as a supply pulpit preacher but am also happy to explore how sharing food reveals God at work (and play) in our world. In the past I have served as an elected member of Oregon's House of Representatives and have served as a key-note speaker on Oregon's Day of Reconciliation.
