• I help produce my kids’ podcast, Scattering Flowers.
• I’m passionate about the Faith, and have been blessed with opportunities to talk and write about Catholicism, conversion, and our journey on many occasions. You can find out more and watch some of these interviews here.
• I read a lot. I keep booklists of currently reading and researching here.
• I’m a bit of a tech nerd, and tinker with my sites/projects quite frequently. You can read more about this site by checking out the colophon.
