Tyler Huckabee is the managing editor of sojo.net. He is originally from the Great Plains but now lives in Nashville with his wife.
Tyler has come a long way from writing Narnia fanfic in the third grade. Much of his writing has centered on the intersection of faith, justice, and pop culture, which he has written about for the Washington Post, The Week, Religion News Service, and Sojourners. He is also interested in David Lynch, Bruce Springsteen, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, Nick Cave, and Marvel Comics, but he mostly writes about those things on his own time.
Tyler lived in Chicago for several years, working in low-income communities with people who taught him where to look for Jesus on earth. Now he uses writing and editing to pass those lessons along.
When he's not writing, he's watching old movies or trying to get his dogs to sit still.
