About Me
I love words—their shapes, their sounds, their nuances, their pasts, their limitations. I think I loved words even before I could talk; when my parents and grandparents read me stories, the rhythm of the words put me in a solemn trance. Everything since has been an extension of that mesmerization.
I've always been and always will be, first and foremost, a writer (though not necessarily a good one, or a rich one).
Even my interest in web design can be traced to a love of words—those odd stacks of words that concatenate in the code.
My Lord's name in John 1 is Logos, Word. My faith and my life are, in part, an exploration of what that means.
