View: Signs of Life: Catholic, Mainline, and Conservative Protestant Congregations in Canada
My main research interests include religion in Canada, Christianity, congregations, religious nones, and millennials.
My academic interests developed as an undergraduate student at Nazarene University College. I obtained my MA and PhD at the University of Waterloo before heading to Ambrose University (Calgary, Alberta) in 2008 where I currently serve as Professor of Sociology and Director of the Flourishing Congregations Institute.
I am married to Helen and we have a dog, Shadow. I am an avid sports fan, and a drummer, and I enjoy reading biographies, traveling, and exercising.
