I’m convinced that pursuing truth and thinking well can be an act of worship as we love God with our minds. I am currently the Professor of Philosophy at Dallas Baptist University where I teach all things philosophical. My scholarly research interests center on epistemology and philosophy of religion (and all related areas!). I’m the author of Wandering Toward God: Finding Faith amid Doubts and Big Questions (forthcoming October 2022), Logic and the Way of Jesus and Everyday Apologetics, and the coauthor of Stand Firm: Apologetics and the Brilliance of the Gospel. I’m also a regularly contributing writer for the Christian Research Journal and get the privilege to regularly speak at churches and conferences. I once had some hobbies but now I spend most of my time exploring the good life with my wife and four children.

Since I grew up in New Jersey, I decided to attend Alaska Bible College (BA in Education, 1999). Alaska was really cold, so I thawed a little in teaching High School classes in Bible and mathematics from 1999-2004 in Denver, CO. There is no ocean in Colorado, so I began my graduate work at Biola University (MA in Christian Apologetics, 2003) in southern California with the intent to pursue graduate work in World Religions. Upon finding myself gripped more by the philosophical questions underlying the religious ones, I returned to Biola (this time Biola’s seminary, Talbot School of Theology) for their philosophy program (MA in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics, 2006). I had not completely solved any philosophical problems so I pursued answers at the University of Iowa (MA and PhD in Philosophy, 2011). I am currently working on answers to these questions at Dallas Baptist University.
