I'm the Culture Editor for Image Journal, a quarterly magazine that seeks to publish the best writing and artwork informed by or grappling with religious faith.
I've written regular columns for Literary Hub, The Millions, and the Catholic Herald (UK) on books, culture, literary magazines, teaching, and poetry.
I work on frequent projects for the Jesuits, including a book club with live events, and regularly teach online courses.
I've written for Rolling Stone, GQ, The Atlantic, The Paris Review, Esquire, Slate, Outside, The Sewanee Review, America, Commonweal, The Christian Century, Christianity Today, The Kenyon Review, The Iowa Review, The Mississippi Review, The Poetry Foundation, and elsewhere. My longform reported stories have been featured at Truly Adventurous.
I've lectured on poetry, literature, and Catholicism—in-person and virtually—at a wide variety of colleges and events: Columbia University, Notre Dame, the University of Scranton, LaSalle University, the University of Pennsylvania, Susquehanna University, Sewanee: the University of the South, Texas Tech, the University of Rochester, the University of St. Francis, and delivered the Keynote address at the 2023 Glen Workshop for writers and artists. My work has received support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
I live with my wife and twin daughters in the part of New Jersey with lots of forests and lakes and bobcats.
