I was born in 1950 in New Zealand, lived in the United States for 13 years, and now reside in Oxford, England.
My academic background includes two doctorates, one in mathematics (from La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia) and one in religious studies (from Boston University). Prehistoric archaeology (especially cave art) also interests me a great deal.
I am an Episcopal (or Anglican) priest.
