I grew up in a family of eleven in Spokane, WA, and my parents and all my siblings are presently (and in all likelihood permanently) settled at various points west of the Rocky Mountains: Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho. I, by contrast, live–and have long lived–in the eastern, southern, and midwestern U.S., which makes me an outlier, in more ways than one. I was born in 1968; went to Brigham Young University<\/a> in 1987; went on a mission (Korea Seoul West) in 1988; returned to BYU in 1990; married Melissa Madsen in 1993; graduated in 1994; moved east to go to graduate school at Catholic University of America<\/a> in Washington D.C. in 1995; our first daughter Megan Elaine was born in 1996; we lived in Frankfurt, Germany for a summer while I studied at Goethe-Universität<\/a> in 1999; our second daughter Caitlyn Barbara was born in 2000; I graduated with my doctorate in 2001; and for the next five years, we sojourned through various state universities (Mississippi State University<\/a>, Arkansas State University<\/a>, and Western Illinois University<\/a>), with our last two daughters, Alison Edra and Kristen Dorothy, being added to our family in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Beginning in August 2006, I took a position at Friends University<\/a>, a small, non-denominational Christian, liberal arts school in Wichita, KS, as director of their political science program. I write a lot, some of which you can read here at Times & Seasons, more of which can be found on my own blog, In Medias Res<\/a>. My wife reads a lot, and writes about what she reads; you can find her comments on her blog, Book Nut<\/a>. Everything else you might want to know about me you can probably figure out through my home page<\/a>. My worldview is basically communitarian: I believe in belonging, and mostly define myself by my attachments, of which I’ve been blessed with many. I’m a husband and a father, a brother and a son, a Christian and a Mormon, a teacher and a scholar and a colleague, a citizen, a ward member, and–surprisingly enough, to a great number of amazingly patient people–a friend. I also ramble on at great length, but you know that by now.<\/p>\n
