Puritan Board Senior
Carl Trueman is the academic dean and professor of Church History and Historical Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in PA. He has degrees from Cambridge and the University of Aberdeen, is a council member of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and is also the general editor of the theological journal Themelios. That may not qualify as talent depending on your definition, but he is certainly well studied!
I don't know that he would consider himself "TR", since that is usually a pejorative label used by those who don't really like Reformed folk who hold convictions regarding more than the five points, but I do believe he would say that he is a confessional Presbyterian. His essays are regularly insightful, and accurate in their assessments, but I have also been accused of having grumpy old man syndrome, and so might not be able to see what it is that you are talking about.
