To live is to die. Only in death is life found. Galatians 2:20

About Me

I sincerely believe God did not make this world for me to have a boring existence, full of lame, boring experiences and people. This universe was made to be my personal playground of good times. I invite anyone to join me on this quest of living life to the fullest.I spend most of my time at Next Level Youth at Christian Faith Center where my beautiful wife Jennifer and I run the youth ministries. We serve some of the greatest, most passionate young people in the Northwest. Don’t believe me? Well come and see for yourself.We stay pretty busy with Next Level since we Pastor two locations. South Seattle and South Everett. Been traveling a lot this year preaching the word! We got a big heart for the young generation of North America, yes Canada too. Eh. We have seen God do some amazing things. It obvious he is preparing this generation for the greatest move of God ever experienced. They are so hungry for God, you can see it in their worship.On a personal note. I love riding my Ducati 750 Sport Motorcycle with my homies, eating good food, watching awesome movies, and shopping my little hearts content. If I am outdoors, which is not often. I will be at the shooting range lighting up some targets with my Semi Auto P-22 pistol, or my Yugoslavian SKS Assault Rifle. Call me a red neck, but shooting stuff and watching it blow up is just cool.LOVEMYFLASH CODE /LOVEMYFLASH CODE

My Interests

Jen and I love going to movies, shopping, restaurant hopping, hanging with friends, and being together. All to often, you can just find us sitting on the couch together doing nothing. We have an awesome couch!

I'd like to meet:

There are lots of people I would like to meet. Infact I like meeting people period. If we are talking famous people then...? Adam Sandler, George Bush Jr. and Sr., Paul Tuetel Sr. and Jr. I could say there a ton of ministry mentors I would love to meet, but so far I have met every single one of the ones I look up to. Men like TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, Brian Houston, and John Maxwell. Billy Graham. I have not met him, I would love to.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

Anyone who knows me, knows. All I listen to is Rock and Worship. Some favorites...Skillet, 30 Seconds to Mars, Tysen, United, Jonathon Stockstill, Reuben Morgan. I am into power music, it better pump me up, or set me free. Most hip hop makes me angry. Hard for me to digest the negative attitude and carnality that most hip hop music portrays. But I do like the beats. Just dont like the attitude.

Movies:

My favorite movie right now is The Prestige. Some classics I really dig are The Game, Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, X-Men 1,2, and 3. Heavyweights, and countless others. I am notorious for falling a sleep in dumb movies. Here is a few I have slept threw, Superman, Pirates 2, Harry Potter 3...
