I’d Like to Meet
Ignaitus of Loyola, since he was the subject of my dissertation at Fuller. Curious about what he was really like in real life.
Favorite Childhood Memory
My dad was the conductor of the Fraser Valley Symphony and I was dragged out to a lot of concerts on the weekends. I usually had free range to hang out backstage by myself and I used to climb up to the rafters at the Abbey Arts Center and watch the symphony concert from up in the ceiling.
