Joel Pinson

St. Joseph's Director

I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, but have lived all over the US – Texas, California, Colorado, Washington, Arizona and, most recently, Oklahoma.  I’m an Anglican priest of many years with a strong therapeutic background in family systems, attachment theory, psychopathology and neurodiversity.  I’ve been a semi-professional musician for longer than I care to admit and I’m endlessly fascinated by the intersection of faith and art.  I love strong coffee, travel, good food, time with friends and family and listening to Tom Waits and Nick Cave.  While our family is brand new to the Academy – I have a daughter at Midtown – we’re thrilled to be part of this unique, special community and I’m privileged to work with our amazing St. Joe’s students.
