Somewhere along the during my time at Furman University I picked up the nick name “Boots”.
I hated it at first, but slowly it grew on me.
When I traveled abroad for foreign study my junior year and needed a name for my blog “Traveling Boots” seemed fitting. This name, seemingly generic, has fit well over the years as this site has been home to a variety of posts that reflect my interests as I travel through life.
I’ve been an amateur photographer for four years taking photographs for myself, friends, and other organizations like Furman and Camp Rockmont. On this site, I largely showcase my photography, but you’ll also find posts about technology, culture, politics, and the Church – all things I care a great deal about.
I’m currently a Master of Divinity student at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina and am looking to serve in the United Methodist Church upon graduation. Perhaps in the future this site will center more on theology (reflections on words we receive from God, words we give to God, and words we speak about God) and my experiences in ministry, but that’ll likely happen after the constant paper due dates end, I graduate, and have traveled to a new station in life.
I was born and raised in Conyers, Georgia, and after graduating from the Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology I attended Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. In 2009, I graduated with a BA in Political Science, worked on a state-wide political campaign, and then headed to Duke Divinity School. Currently, I serve on the Board of Trustees of Salem Campmeeting.
