Projects
Blogs and Musings
My ongoing blog, Ewe and Shepherd, is where I plan to publish most consistently. It is a museum of my theological trains of thought, meditations, poetry, and writing updates.
​
I also manage an Instagram account, A Bright Aubade, where I post Tokyo- and/or faith-based creative works coupled with my own film photography.
​
My third and final blog is of a more personal nature and not as frequently updated, but if you wish to peruse my Tokyo life musings, feel free to do so at Prone to Wonder.
External Work
I also contribute to the Christian literary circle by publishing poetry and nonfiction pieces in various magazines and journals. To view a piece, please click its title.
