Raised in the foothills of the Cascade mountains, Sam Petersen hails from Maple Valley, WA (and yes - it is as quaint as it sounds.) Majoring in History, with a focus on Christian intellectual history, and minoring in both French and International Strategy/Diplomacy he is looking forward to pursuing a career in the Air Force Chaplain Corps upon graduation. He loves working with Dr. Philip Barlow at the Maxwell Institute as a research assistant. Sam spends his free time cooking - and eating - good food, reading, and enjoying the outdoors with friends.
