I am the priest at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Cedar Rapids, IA. It took me twenty six years and a long and fairly succesful incursion in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to start on this road, but here I am, hoping to learn how to pray, how to live, and how to love. These are my thoughts, questions, musings, wonderings, as I try to serve God.

I was born in Bacau, Romania a fair while ago. After moving around - first within Romania, then to Nigeria and back to Romania - I came to the US a millennium ago (or thereabouts). I have a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Midwestern State University, and an MSCSE and PhD from the University of Notre Dame. I was the intramural champion at one mile at MSU and our team won the intramural championship in soccer at ND. I have studied voice for eight years (tenor). Now I have reached what I believe to be my true place in life as a servant of the Church.

Greetings, earthling! I stumbled across both your blog and the blog of your wife recently and have been reading them. It was one of those six degrees of separation things --- I knew someone who had a blog, who knew someone who had a blog, who knew someone who had a blog, etc., who had you listed in the "Orthodox Blogs" sidebar of their blog. Kudos to you both! Your blogs are among my favorites.
Hello, Gabriel, and welcome.
All I can say about the six degrees of separation is that Magda has stopped being freaked out by the connections/coincidences within the relatively small world of American Orthodoxy. It seems sometimes that we are all bound to meet one another somehow :)
