An aspiring philosopher-poet, Ryan Shields loves good stories by great writers. He graduated from Biola University with a B.A. in philosophy and biblical studies. He currently resides under the unrelenting Phoenix sun, where he sweats toward an MDiv at Phoenix Seminary. Passionate about teaching Christians to think critically and worshipfully about God and His creation, he hopes to compose philosophy curricula for churches and small groups. When neither reading nor writing, Ryan enjoys voice acting, practicing the bass, and playing too much Super Nintendo.
