Together with my wife Mary, I entered the Orthodox Church on the Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos (15 August) in 1991. On the feast of st Nicholas (6 December 1996) I was ordained to the Holy Priesthood by His Eminence Metropolitan MAXIMOS at St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Pittsburgh, PA.
By profession I am a psychologist of religion, by vocation a married priest. My wife and I live in the Madison, WI where my wife is a lawyer and I earn my keep as an independent scholar and writer.
