I am devoted to iconic words--windows to things in heaven and on earth, which reveal who we are, who our God is, and who we are in him.

I am a husband, father, poet, runner, lover of Hebrew and the Hebrew Bible, and an active Christian of the Lutheran confession.

My writings have been published in The Federalist, Modern Reformation, the Lutheran Witness, Concordia Journal, and elsewhere. Two of my hymns were included in the Lutheran Service Book. And I have authored three books: The Infant Priest: Hymns and Poems, Christ Alone: Meditations and Sermons, and Why Lutherans Sing What They Sing.
