Chris

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. Ph. 3:7

About Me

I'm Chris. I'm a Christian. I'm middle-aged if I live to be over 75. I work at a public high school near my home and know a lot of people say this and that about it, but it is an awesome place to work and a very good school to me. There are definitely worse. I love music, almost any kind. I love working with youth at my local church, Student Life Camp and First Priority. Hopefully, I will be getting a dog, soon.

My Interests

Christianity, Spirituality, Learning Disabilities, Reading, Photography, Graphic Design, Music - all kinds . . .
