Skeptical Christian humanist | essayist | lover of family, trees, rivers, & books.
By day, I work as a technical writer and project manager. I live on seven acres in west-central Minnesota with my wife, some chickens and cats, and three human children. I write a newsletter on Substack.
Recently, I made a mini-site of historical-philosophical math explorations for my daughter.
