EDITOR'S BIO SKETCH

 Born in the heart of Texas and raised in two small towns there, my childhood would be care-free and countrified. The place I call my hometown was the place I spent only the first decade of my existence. I am still drawn back at times for a fresh kolache and some ring bologna, and, for the pure nostalgia of the place. I moved in the spring of my fifth grade year to a town with only one paved road, and a population of around a thousand people, which included no Catholics or black folk. I graduated from there and returned to the city of my birth to attend Baylor University in the mid-sixties.

The next quarter of a century I continued formal education periodically amidst my vocation of Christian ministry.  I served in the pastorate of various Protestant denominations as I journeyed back to the historic expressions of the Christian Faith.  Born and raised Southern Baptist, I was ordained to the pastoral ministry in April, 1973.  While continuing to pastor Baptist churches, I moved to Denver, Colorado, and completed a M.A. in Biblical Studies at Denver Seminary in 1984.  I spent in next 26 years in the Houston area, eventually becoming an Episcopal priest for almost nine of those years.

​

By 1998 I had read myself into the Roman Catholic Church.  I had also met and spent many hours with my good friend and priest, Father G.  Although my vocation still involved the teaching ministry, it shifted to the government arena as a public school teacher.  In December, 2008, I took a second M.A. (this time in History) from Sam Houston State University.  For the last ten years I have been a secondary Social Studies teacher.  Additionally, I was an adjunct professor in History at Houston Community College System for at least half of this time. 

Currently, I am living in southeastern New Mexico with my lovely and talented wife, and our three Chihuahuas.  Life is busy as we endeavor to manage a heavy work schedule. My spare time is spent reading, researching, and writing articles for these two web sites and other historical organizations.
