By Common Consent, a Mormon Blog

I grew up (debatable verbiage) in Utah. I attended BYU, where I earned a degree in Russian, followed by a stint at the University of Utah where I earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in US History. I currently live with my family (wife, three sons, and one daughter) in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I teach Russian and am earning a PhD in Sociocultural Anthropology. In addition to husband, father, Mormon, and academic, my other salient identities include washed-up musician, amateur chef, Hollywood liberal, inveterate book buyer, loyal Utah Jazz fan, wannabe screenwriter, and Capricorn.
