About Me

I'm just a guy with a fro looking for a place to go. I'm a youth minister with a long glorified title. I love the kids and the God I get to serve daily, whether it's interacting with kids in Bible study or dumping water on them at a car wash, I love my job.I also enjoy short walks with naps at the end of them, sunrises that I don't get to see, fires made by someone else, and Stewart's Key Lime Soda.

My Interests

I'm interested in anything besides what I'm supposed to be doing. Popular diversions for me include juggling sticks, cartooning, cleaning, movies, paper clips, my cell phone, music, TV, and video games. But what I desire most is probably a good conversation, good book, good food, and a good relationship.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Conan O'brien, Max Lucado, Einstein, and Jaleel White

Music:

The Rocket Summer, Shawn McDonald, U2, Seven Places, and I've been on a Peppers kick lately. The playlist below gives you some of my taste...

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Finding Forrester, Sneakers, The Fugitive, The Man with Two Brains, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Television:

Prison Break, Smallville, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Colbert Nation

Books:

What's so Amazing About Grace?, The Last Battle (CS Lewis), The Ragamuffin Gospel, Velvet Elvis, Blue Like Jazz

Heroes:
