About Me

My name is Justin. I'm 25 and I'm living in the best season of my life thus far. I am a music maker, a songwriter, a record producer. I have some of the greatest friends a man could ask for and I have a family that I don't deserve to be a part of. I walk with Jesus. He tells me that life is not a popularity contest, but an opportunity to make an impact on people. I don't think I'll ever forget that. I want to be known as a servant and an indispensable friend. I'm a night owl that thrives on great conversation and loose leaf tea. I love to sing for anyone who will listen. Laughter and great stories are two of the best things in life. I still have mixed feelings about displaying a "representation" of my life on a web page, but it's definitely a way to meet some interesting people and to keep in touch with old friends. I love anything with espresso in it... especially a cup.

If it's lame... not so much.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus (when he was my age). Ken Andrews. Jeff Buckley. John Lennon. Mitch Hedberg. Jack Black. Will Ferrell. C.S. Lewis. Charles Spurgeon. I want to meet people who devote their lives to impacting others. I want to meet people who are comfortable in their own skin. I want to meet people who love God, and I want to meet people who can tell a good knock knock joke. I want to meet people who tell great stories. I want to meet people who bring out the best in me and allow me to bring out the best in them. I want to meet people of passion and purpose.
