The Rev. Dr. Andrew Armond is Earth & Altar's lifestyle & humor editor. Andrew grew up in a small town in north Louisiana and was raised in the Baptist tradition.

He then had a nine-year gig as an English professor at an evangelical university, a six-year stint as an eighth-grade religion teacher and Episcopal school chaplain, and has now been a priest for almost two years. Andrew now serves as the Curate at Trinity Episcopal Church in Longview, TX and the Chaplain to Trinity School of Texas, its parish school. He is the parent to three absolutely wonderful children and has been married almost as long as most of the other editors have been alive.
