web designer, podcaster, writer, blogger

I grew up in Excelsior, Minnesota, and graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 1993 with a B.A. in English Literature and Great Books. I then attended a month-long graduate-level program at the Shakespeare Institute in 1993, and spent two years in formation for diocesan priesthood at the Saint Paul Seminary. I've worked as a computer software trainer and webmaster since 1997. I was also a freelance writer for The Catholic Servant from 1998 until 2002, and attended the Act One: Writing for Hollywood program in Chicago in 2002. From 2003 through 2008, I lived in Los Angeles, California, working in both the non-profit and for-profit worlds, while serving in various apostolates to the entertainment community.
