This Guy Knows What He Wants

I was recently asked by Deacon Steve Wehr at my home parish (St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis) for a personal conversation about, well, me.

Steve asked me about my upbringing, my military service, my musical endeavors, marriage, faith, and how I discovered and was drawn to Orthodox Christianity.

This is not some tidy conversion story, but a life shaped by vocation, risk, patience, and the slow recognition of home.
