I am a PhD candidate at NEGST in Nairobi, Kenya working on "The Hopes of Israel and the Ends of Acts" (the relationship of restoration eschatology and the defense of Paul at the end of Acts.) It's a great set-up for me. I have great colleagues, a great community, a decent library and adequate internet access.

I am married to an incredible woman, Christi and we have three kids: Kiara born in Washington DC in 2000, Leila born in Paris, France 2003, and Liam born here in May of 2006.

I hold American and Canadian citizenships. I was born in Switzerland, raised in Congo and Liberia. and have lived in Africa about 19 out of my 39 years. (My 3 years in Paris keep the scales tipped towards the African side.).

Education:
Wheaton College (Bible and Theology 1992)
Trinity (Deerfield, Ill.; M.A.R.)
Westminster (Philadelphia; M.Div 2001)

Key interests include African Christianity, biblical studies, Luke-Acts, New Testament, ethnicity, social identity, social justice (economics and development).
