About Me

Ok, so my profile needed a little updating, thanks for everyone who persistently kept reminding me. And besides it kind of made me feel like a liar, cause my profile was so behind my life. I never made it to Oklahoma City to help my friends plant a church. I know I'm a little bummed about that, but God willing someday I hope to be apart of a new church plant. Actually to go more into that subject, that's something I'm really looking forward to. I picture a church, a group of people in a community pursuing God, full of creativity, full of passion, serving a city in all of its needs. Serving the gospel of Jesus Christ, because if you don't KNOW HIM then life is pointless. Besides He's the one who made us, all He's asking is for us to return to the ways it was between God and man before the fall(adam and eve incident). I picture a community in which people know they don't have it ALL figured out, where there is a deep understanding that this pursuit and relationship with God is an ADVENTURE. It's a journey to be a christian, it's not completely a destination or arrival thing. So this is close to my heart and a passion of mine. Along with that I love to get to teach God things to people who will listen. It's one of those things that I feel more alive after I get done teaching. I also enjoy worshiping God with instruments and making up new songs through that. Kind of like singing out a prayer to God, you know? Ok, so back to the story I'm not in Oklahoma, I'm actually living in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I live with one of my old friends from Illinois and his wife. I moved here because Jenna, my girlfriend lives here. And my friend's wife is Jenna's sister, and that's how we ended up meeting. So I am continuing that relationship, which has been such a blessing, and I'm also starting a new business here in Tennessee. I'm continuing on the leather repair business that I learned in Colorado Springs. Restoration Plus.

My Interests

I like playing guitar. I don't know how to play much, but I like the drums, and piano as well. I used to skateboard a lot, but not so much anymore (I'm 25 years old). I like snowboarding too. Hiking, mountain biking, climbing trees (not as much as the less hippie I become). I love traveling, being in new places, seeing what makes up this world.

I'd like to meet:
