He was appointed President of the Institute in 2018 and serves as Professor of Theological Anthropology in the jointly sponsored Masters program with Pontifex University. His global lecturing, best-selling books, multiple audio and video programs, and popular podcast (co-hosted by his wife Wendy) have made him one of the world’s most recognized teachers of St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.
