Stupid Scholar

Biography of the Stupid Scholar

Since December 2006, I have been married to my best friend, Kimberly. She is a junior high school math teacher, and the love of my life. Everyday, I give God thanks because of her.

I am currently a PhD student at the Catholic University of America in Old Testament Studies. My focus is on Old Testament poetry and wisdom literature. Lord willing, I will complete my degree in 2012.

My other degrees include: ThM in Biblical Studies (Univeristy of Edinburgh, 2008; with distinction); MDiv (Reformed Theological Seminary, 2007); MS in Mathematics (NC State University, 2002); BS in Mathematics (NC State University, 2001; Cum Laude).

Clearly, I’m well educated, but that says nothing of my intelligence, wisdom, or spiritual depth. Kyrie Eleeison!

In my theology, I am mostly Reformed with a high Sacramentology. I currently attend an Anglican Church. Opposing views are both intriguing and helpful to me, as iron sharpens iron. I particular enjoy interacting with the writings of the Early Church Fathers and with the theology of historical branches of Christianity (Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Anglicanism).

For 5 years, I was a youth director at Sandhills PCA, a Presbyterian church in Southern Pines, NC. I love academics, but I miss the ministry and people there a lot.

I am a member of the Society for Biblical Literature, the Catholic Biblical Association, and the Evangelical Theological Society.
