About Me


a story
i grew up in california and spent almost my whole life there. i had a good job, lots of friends, and a great family. then i had the opportunity to move to montana and help my friend levi start a church. i decided it was the right thing to do and i'm glad i went because it's great here. beautiful scenery, nice people, and the church is going great so far. i've started to meet some new friends and although it's very different from california, i really enjoy it and i am looking forward to the summer time because everyone up here says it's amazing.
random info
i live in montana now, but i grew up in southern california. i am left handed. i'm pretty tall. i drive a subaru legacy. i drink a lot of water. i enjoy taking pictures. i love my friends. i like going on adventures. i am very sarcastic.
what is important to me
in the past i've been pretty quiet about my spiritual beliefs. i never wanted to offend anyone. but people need to speak out for what they believe in. i am a Christian. i am an assistant to the pastor at a new church that just started in january. i pray, i read the bible... but none of that makes up for the fact that i still do a lot of things i don't want to do, and for that i have been a hypocrite. it's hard living in this world and doing what i feel is the right thing. it's my daily struggle. but i am working on it.
check out this cool sign i made:
