About Me

Hey, I’m Drew. Some of you, however, may know me by my middle name, Taki. My life is awesome. I’m so blessed. Right now God is blessing me in South Lake Tahoe, California. I love this place. My friends here are great. I don’t get sick here as much as I do elsewhere. The snowboarding, mountain biking, backpacking, slacklining, skiing, and more are SICK!!! And I really feel like God has called me to this place. The spiritual climate in the Sierra Nevada is one of the darkest in the nation. Washoe County, which is just a few miles from South Lake Tahoe, is the 3rd most unchurched county in the United States. Many refer to Tahoe as a “spiritual black hole”. I believe God has put me here (along with many other saints) to guide this region back to reconciliation and revival. I think I’m here for a long time.As for a job, I’m in a transition phase right now. I recently wrapped up jobs as a snowboard instructor and group home staff. Now I’m studying to become a realtor. I think I’m actually ready to settle into a career. It’s taken long enough!Did I mention that I’m blessed?

Can I Choose the Cross?

Last Thursday I talked to a new friend, Mark, about a job I'm pursuing. He had worked it before and despite his endorsement of the job, it just didn't sound that appealing. "Yeah man, it's the best j...
