Paul J. Utterback

Paul is thrilled to work at the Wabash Center as the Communication and Digital Media Coordinator. Paul started in the role in January 2023 and is excited to spend his days with a dedicated, caring, and enthusiastic staff as well as a remarkable roster of scholars wrestling with some of life’s most interesting questions. He maintains the digital presence of the Wabash Center including its website, blogs, podcasts, and social media accounts.

Paul comes to the Wabash Center from K-12 education. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, he was assigned to teach high school in Malawi, and he continued in the field upon his return to the US working for seven years at the middle school level. In addition to advocating for public education, Paul is passionate about the environment and looks forward to his work with the Wabash Center putting him in contact with scholars studying the intersections of theology and ecology.

When not working, Paul can usually be found in a cozy nook with a book, perambulating around town listening to a podcast, or playing the piano. He also enjoys biking, hiking, exercise, scintillating conversation over a locally brewed pint, and a good cup of coffee.
