He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Near Eastern Studies of the University of Michigan (1995). During his doctoral studies he took a six month sabbatical from the parish and was a student at the University of Oxford.

He and his wife Kristi have been blessed with two children, Stephan and Lauren.
