I am an academic. I am Professor Emeritus of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Wyoming, a recent PhD in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh, and a current Master of Divinity student at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois.

My current interests are serving those suffering from trauma and loss, and writing about where we can see evidence of God in the modern world, too often shrouded in darkness. 

​

My academic interests focus on the question: How can one believe that God acts in the world, given the understanding that contemporary science has given us? I propose that divine action occurs through human hands. My first monograph appeared in late 2025 with Springer Nature: "Talking with God: Prayer, Imagination, and Inspiration in the Age of Neuroscience." My research is at the intersection of science and religion, particularly psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and theology. I am fascinated by the role of language in molding what we believe, what we imagine, and what inspires us. I have proposed a model to explain how language enables inspiration, called the Language-Enabled Inspiration Model, based on a contemporary understanding of brain architecture. LEIM serves as a conduit for divine action.
