I practice the craft of writing.
I never set out to write or edit—I went to Bible college and seminary thinking I'd become a pastor or a professor of some ilk. But thanks to the procrastination that left me taking Creative Writing 101 in my final year of grad school, here I am.
I love writers. I want to take what seems so ordinary to new and growing wielders of the written word and cultivate it into masterpieces. I want to help people capture on paper the slices of everyday life that make living extraordinary. So I edit.
And, for the sake of credibility, I have a B.A. in Old Testament Hebrew from Moody Bible Institute, and a Th.M. with a dual emphasis in Biblical Theology and Old Testament from Dallas Theological Seminary. I pay the bills working as Executive Editor of Discovery Series and Digital Content at Our Daily Bread Ministries, and pay for the other parts of life by freelancing as an editor. On occasion you'll find me taking one evening a week to help teach writing classes at my grad school.
When I’m not writing or studying, I’m spending time with my wife and five kids at our home in West Michigan.
