if there's one thing I know, it's that Jesus Christ changes lives

About Me

Well, I'm into all kinds of different things like playing bass guitar, doing lots of church stuff, outdoor stuff like camping, shooting, fishing, kayaking etc. I'm doing my honours in environmental science at the moment but I'll be off to bible college next year. I would like to be a pastor.I work at Pizza Hut and Suncorp Stadium. My hero is Pastor Brian Houston. One day, I wanna be just like him! But with less of a kiwi accent.
