I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm pretty much one of the most fortunate people in the world. I come from a great family and I've got a great family of my own. I've been married to Chrissy for 14 years and we have 3.5 year old twin boys, Parker and Preston. I've been an Associate Pastor at Park Lake Church for 12 years. I love to skateboard, old school carving in the pools and bowls, none of that board flippin' new school stuff, I'm too old for that. Some of the best guys I've ever met are old skaters like myself. In 2006 I broke a finger, my wrist skating and had back surgery too. But skating is too much fun to quit. It's more fun than walking on a treadmill. I play the drums and play every week in the band at my church. I hiked all the way around Mt Rainier in Washington State; 115 miles in 11 days. One my greatest and most physically challenging experiences ever. I'm pretty laid back. It takes alot to get me stirred up. I believe what happens in my life and my eternity is based on the choices I make now. Someday I'm going to skydive, get a tattoo, drive a racecar, and learn to surf. But not all in one day.

My Interests

My awesome wife and kids, my God, skateboarding, drumming, backpacking, .

I'd like to meet:

The person that puts all those pins in shirts (dang, that's got to be a crazy job), P.O.D. (did that a few times), the person that broke into my car when I lived in downtown Dallas (I hope they read the Bible they stole), Lance Mountain (greatest skater ever). That's pretty much it. I'm not much into celebrity types or famous people. The way I look at it, they all poop and pee like me just maybe in a little bit fancier bathroom.

Music:

P.O.D., Blindside, Underoath, Mars Ill, Matisyahu, One Bad Pig, The Showdown, The Clash, The Cure, The Smiths, Frank Sinatra, The Cranberries, Tony Bennett, and Johnny Cash. I'm sure there's more to list but I just got bored. I like all kinds of music. And playing in the band at my church is one of the funnest things that I do. I'm intrigued by music arrangement and those that have the ability to play.

Movies:

You know, the ones you pay your money, grab a snack and be entertained by. The best part of any movie is going out to eat before or afterwards. Oh yeah and Napolean Dynamite. That movie just cracks me up. "Gosh" "It's awesome"

Television:

Lost, survivor, pretty much anything on Fuel TV, and yes I hate to admit it, but I'm hooked on American stinkin' Idol. Most TV is pretty pointless and boring. I love watching traditional sports like Football, basketball, and Hockey but I get the biggest kick watching extreme sports like skateboarding, BMX, and FMX. Extreme atheletes are a different breed and I highly respect their ability and courage.

Books:

The Bible, Concrete Wave Magazine, Risen Magazine, Rev Magazine, pretty much anything about church growth and church trends. I'm not into fiction or novels. I'd rather read something that I can learn from and apply to my life. Right now I'm taking some courses towards a nursing degree, so you can imagine how fun that is.

Heroes:

Jesus, my dad and mom, my wife, and my kids. These are the people that love me the most.
