Born and raised in Tustin, California, I earned my B.A.
in psychology from Cal State Fullerton. From there, I went on to earn the
M.Div. from San Francisco Theological Seminary. After a brief, two-year-plus
foray into house-painting and a semester as a substitute teacher in the
Cincinnati Public Schools, I returned to academia to earn an M.A. in Religion
from Miami University (Ohio). I earned the Ph.D. in Religion (New Testament)
from Claremont Graduate University in 1998.
Academic interests of mine include the study of the
interaction between early Christian communities, gospel studies, the sayings of
Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas and the Sayings Gospel Q, Gnosticism as it
applies to early Christianity and second temple Judaism, Greek and archaeology.

One of my responsibilities at Lycoming College is to
coordinate summer archaeological digs as part of our Archaeology & Culture
of the Ancient Near East Program. This past summer many of our students dug
at the ancient city of Idalion, on
the island of Cyprus, and at Tel Gezer
in Israel.
Non-academic interests include mystery novels, hiking,
backpacking, walking the doggies, and picking blackberries. My sweetheart and
spouse, Dr. Ellen Davis, is the Director of Music at St John's-Newberry United
Methodist Church here in Williamsport. She also teaches voice lessons at St. John's School
of the Arts.
Ellen and I added a new member to our family in February of
2001. Check out Maya's webpage. We added another member
to the family in 2007, but Sadie doesn't have her own webpage up yet.
