As the library director at a small institution, I am passionate about library collaboration and connections between libraries. I look forward to learning about you and your context and figuring out ways that we can partner, learn, and grow together so that we can advance library (and instititutional) missions in a context of never-ending technological and social change. I consider myself an amateur (in the best Wendell Berry sense of the word) - as a person of faith, as a theological librarian, as a husband and father, as someone who enjoys the outdoors, and as someone who is curious about culture. I have written recently about "vocational awe" in theological libraries. I also recently co-presented a session to my seminary community about critical approaches to ChatGPT. I am looking forward to co-leading a workshop at Atla Annual with Susan Ebertz and Nancy Kirkpatrick on relationships.
