About Me

I was born in Greenfield, IN on March 18, 1976. I grew up in Indiana most of my life, but lived in Wilmington , N.C. in 7th grade then moved back. I remained very active in Christ Fellowship Church outside of Shirley. I graduated H.S. in '94, sat out a year, then went to World Harvest Bible College for 1 year in '95-'96. I came back to CFC to youth pastor for 4 years. Then I moved to Nashville, TN in March '01 and went to NewSong Christian Fellowship. I was a student intern there for 1 1/2 years, which gave me some really good training on mentoring and shepherding. And then I was released to help with a church plant in Lewisburg, TN called Potter's House. I got married to my beloved Jessica Forgie in May '05 while at that church. Then we moved to Hawaii in January '07 so we can prepare to go to Japan to be missionaries. We don't know the timeline on this and are fine taking one step at a time. We are currently serving in Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay awaiting the Lord to give us guidance for our next steps. That's my life in a nutshell.

My Interests

I am interested ministry; foreign travel; camping; hiking; scuba diving (even though I haven't done it yet); owning a sail boat (not yet); building a family

I'd like to meet:

I've never really thought of who I'd like to meet before. But I think I could come up with a few. I'd like to meet Rolland and Heidi Baker, as they are an inspiration to me about what could be on the mission field. I would like to meet President Bush so I could tell him that I admire the fact that he has the balls to proclaim his faith in such a high-pressure position. I would like to meet Britney Spears so I could tell her that Jesus still loves her regardless of her meltdown. I would like to meet the President of Japan in hopes I could gain favor to reach larger amounts of people in that nation. And I would like to meet my guardian angel, so I could hear of all the tales of how he had to work so hard to save my neck.

Music:

my favorite is heart-felt worship; I love rock music too: classic rock and brit rock are probably my favs; I like most kinds of music, but not all music. I used to absolutely hate country, but now that I've moved away from the mainland, I'm realizing how country at heart I am, so I have gained a little more appreciation. Especially Johnny Cash.

Movies:

Bourne Trilogy; Star Wars; Lord of the Rings; Gladiator; Braveheart (any clue what my favorite movie category is?)I like some good comedies too though. most movies by Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, Owen Wilson, occassional Ben Stiller

Television:
