I hate flying, but I love on-the-ground reporting — so I spend plenty of time in the air.
My journalistic travels have taken me to all 50 states and 15 countries.
I’ve filed thousands of stories for The Oklahoman (1993-2002), The Associated Press (2002-2005) and The Christian Chronicle (2005-present), where I serve as editor-in-chief.
Based in Oklahoma City, I also write the national Weekend Plug-In column — featuring analysis, fact checking and top headlines from the world of faith — for Religion Unplugged.
Besides my regular gigs, I freelance for national media ranging from AP to Christianity Today to the Washington Post. My byline has appeared everywhere from the Paris-based international wire service Agence France-Presse to the front page of the Los Angeles Times to the homepage of USA Today.
And talk about burying the lede: I’m crazy in love with my wife, Tamie, and a super-proud father and grandfather.
Besides my family, I’m passionate about my faith, Texas Rangers baseball and country music (the classic kind).
Check out my top stories. Find me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Authory. Hey, if you’re really bored, Google me.
