About Me

I am a life-long pastor and teacher with 35+ years of ministry in a variety of contexts and roles.  The last decade of my ministry has been given to the work of spiritual formation in Christian community.  Presently I teach on spiritual formation and provide spiritual direction. My training in spiritual direction is from Creighton University (Omaha, NE), Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Direction. My unique gift as a spiritual director is the ability to combine listening skills and spiritual discernment with Biblical knowledge and life experience.

My primary academic grounding has been in Biblical Studies.  My primary way is to relate our human experience to the Biblical template.  Over these past 15 years I have been intent on helping shape a biblical spirituality which pays close attention to both scripture and tradition. I am appreciative of the wide variety of Christian understanding and practice. I have long been fascinated by the dynamics of spiritual conversation, modelled by Jesus.  I believe one-on-one encounters can lead us into an experience of God, and towards meaning and clarity.

For those who are interested in biblically-shaped formation and prayer, I am particularly adept.  I am also uniquely qualified to help pastors and ministry personel in the nuanced challenges of their spiritual life.​
