Who we are

Wesley Chambers is a husband and father who converted to Catholicism, alongside his wife, on Easter Vigil 2018. He is a PhD dropout—a philosopher turned software engineer—and although he left philosophy behind, it never left him, which is why he is still here, writing “according to occasion, when there [is] a call on [him] to write” (Newman). He resides in St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife and children. You can read a brief account of his conversion Here at his personal Substack.

Jake Tate is a husband, father, and Catholic convert who works as a software engineer and entrepreneur.
