An Engineer's Statement of Faith:
As a forensic engineer, I spend my days inspecting structures built for all kinds of people. That work constantly reminds me that every person I meet is valuable, one-of-a-kind, and irreplaceable.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do believe in a greater being beyond us. I respect all faiths and worldviews as long as they do no harm because human dignity is something we all share. No one religion or philosophy has a monopoly on love, pain, kindness, struggle, or peace. These belong to the human condition.
What I Believe
- Creation is ordered; it is not chaotic. The science around us is infinitely brilliant, overwhelmingly beautiful, and complex. I believe in a good God that intelligently order creation.
- Humans cannot grasp infinite space or time, but God does.
- Every person is unique and irreplaceable, reflecting the Creator and worthy of respect.
- No faith or philosophy should cause harm. Love, respect, and kindness are the true tests of living rightly.
- Our thoughts and actions matter. What we say and do has lasting significance.
- Humility in the face of mystery keeps us open to accept each other and fosters learning and growth.
As part of living out these beliefs, we support Make-A-Wish. You can learn more or join me in this effort on my Outreach page.
