You're passionate - just selective about your passions Do You Have a Type A Personality?Well...I was paralyzed in a car wreck at the age of 17...too much to tell on this site. After rehab I went back to high school, graduating a year late. I then went on to get my Bachelors and Masters degrees. I'm a self-suffient and independent person both physically and financially, living on my own. God has blessed my life and I have a lot to be thankful for. Now I'm just a plain and simple guy that has to use a wheelchair to get around with. And no I don't drive a van...I have a Chevy Monte Carlo....you should see how I get in and out, I make it look easy.

My interests include going to church and getting involved in Bible studies, leading small growth/support groups, helping people grow...spending time with family and friends; water skiing during the summer & jet skiing when I get the chance, working out 2-3 times a week, playing tennis, watching movies, spending time with my nephews and chatting with them on the internet as well as playing video games with them, and watching my oldest nephew skateboard. I do like to cook when I get the time and have more than one person to cook for...too many left overs when you are single...playing TEXAS HOLD 'EM online at pokerstars.net

Music:

My music interests vary and I enjoy most everything. Some music and artists that I listen to are contemporary Christian artists such as Rich Mullins, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Mercy Me. Secular music includes ALL '80s music, some '90s, some current. When I was skateboarding I was into Metallica and still enjoy it.

Movies:

Comedies, action, suspense, romantic comedies

Television:

The Simpsons, House, LOST, Reality TV shows

Books:

I like to read growth and develpment books when I do read. Some that I am reading now are dating books to learn how to have a successful relationship which will also help me when counseling others since these types of books include setting healthy boundaries.

Heroes:

My good friend Stephen Chock. He was my neuropsychologist while I was in physical rehab. Several years later I learned that he became ordained as a pastor and I began going to the church in which he was an associate pastor at. He oversaw the small growth groups (some that I lead to help people grow) and the counseling clinic associated with the church that he helped get started. I also admire and look up to Rich Mullins (contemporary Christian artist/writer). He never knew how much money he made from the albums he made because it all went to his church which gave it to different ministries. The money that he would get would be the average salary of a working man which was $24,000 the year before he died. He said if he knew how much he made, it would be that much harder to give away.
