Hi! My name is Samuel, and I am a writer, chaplain, and educator living in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, with my spouse, Valerie, and two kiddos. I have a PhD in History (UW-Milwaukee, 2022). My first book, Practicing the Monastic Disciplines, was co-authored with Dr Sam Hamstra, Jr., and tackles spiritual formation in the tradition of the Desert Fathers. I write about theology, culture, and how ancient history educates our approach to life.

You can find Practicing the Monastic Disciplines here.

You can find my most recent book, An Elegant Ending, here.
