About Me

I am a fairly laid back person that is a complete music junkie (performing, listening, watching), coffee drinking, fool for Christ. I love to drive and have a very odd sense of direction. I love animals but not allowed any in my apartment so I have to settle for a couple of fish instead. I am currently working at a church in Spamtown USA (aka Austin, MN) as a director of youth ministry and loving every second of it.
