About Me

Church: I just finished leading a life group at The Well (www.thewellcommunity.org) I am involved in leadership there and love it! My favorite thing is my early morning prayer group. We meet every Tuesday at 6:30am to pray, and you are invited!Business: I started a business with two other partners about a year ago. Lloyd Lanson (www.lloydlanson.com) provides fractional ownership interests in vacation homes so people do not have to buy an entire home when they know they can only use it a few weeks a year. We have had a lot of interest and are currently selling fractions in Shaver Lake, and putting deals together for the Coast and Bass Lake!Law: I am an Attorney at Gilmore, Wood, Vinnard and Magness here in Fresno. I practice mostly civil litigation. That means no: criminal, employment, worker's comp or personal injury. Mostly breach of contract, fraud, and other general business and commercial litigation. So, I am at court a lot. Anything else ... ask and you shall receive.

My Interests

Disc Golf -- seriously you should try it. It's addicting! Salsa, Swing, and want to take ballroom. I like dancing that has some class. Golf -- I love the challenge. Ultimate -- good cardio but I usually only get to play "At the Park" w/ my church. Spinning -- ok, you can't say a thing until you've gone ... consistently ... at 5:30 in the morning. Bring it. But, even if you did, I'm secure enough as a man that I don't care what you think. Reading, coffee, going to the lake/beach/mountains ...

I'd like to meet:

The Inklings ... look it up. My greatgrandfathers. New and interesting people! Seriously, even if we know each other through some random connection, just add me, I'm really not sensitive that way. I enjoy interesting conversation and I like spending time with people that are smarter than I am.

Music:

Yes, please. I really do like most music. Recently, I've become a fan of underground Christian music. I've got a buddy that has concerts at his house for up and coming Christian artists; www.myspace.com/ryancorum. Every time I go I keep buying CDs! I even got to name it -- Road 56 Productions.

Movies:

Dead Poets, To Kill a Mockingbird, Braveheart, Shawshank, Top Gun, Power of One, Hoosiers, Dances w/ Wolves (there is a long and interesting story behind that one), and there's more ...

Television:

Discovery, History, and Travel channels plus Sportscenter to taste ... and usually in that order.
