About Me


BR
While i've got you here...check out my church at www.lifechurch.tv
Then visit my website at www.ballisticdigital.com
Upes...I deleted my first paragraph when I added the pictures above! Well, what it used to say is this (in a nutshell): I love God with all my heart and I'm passionate about how Jesus Christ alone can transform lives. People aren't always great, but I love 'em. I'm extroverted, expressive, and resilient. I love to be spontaneous, funny, and aggresive (in a good way, usually). I think my primary giftings are in the creative realm (music, writing, video, graphics) though I've found a lot of success and fulfillment working in the "people" side of things (training, consulting, creating events that engage people). I'm very passionate about beauty - take lots of pictures and love the outdoors. Exploring is what I do best!
At the core of WHO I AM, I guess you'd call me an achiever...I love to get things done and push past walls that many people will stop at (in my work and in people's lives). I have great friends that often remind me to "just take a break" from the pace once and a while and just have some crazy fun!
I have a deep desire to communicate well...to understand what makes people tick, and to be understood. Good luck with that one I guess!
As far as my convictions about life...I've experienced some major counterfeits for God's best foro me over the years...but one thing is for sure - HE IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL. Life is full of little choices that can lead you down the path of truth or obscure the way. Simply put, I believe that my choices everyday have a powerful effect on where I will end up. I desire above all else to choose a path that lead to true strength, purity, faithfulness, beauty, and selfless love. The only path to these outcomes in this world is walked by Jesus Christ. Only He knows the way...and only he can make the way available to us. I'm learning to just trust and walk the path with Him. What a ride!

My Interests


What do I love? People, The work God is doing in the Earth, making people laugh and enjoying the moment, encouragement, spontaneous adventure, beauty, purposeful friendships, singing loudly when no one's listening, hugs, leadership, overcoming obstacles, worshiping God, traveling overseas, writing, creativite expression, playing the piano (since I was 7). I really love my puppy Tucker...he's a stud. I love the outdoors: Hunting (with my family in Alabama mostly), Skiing (let's go right now!), Tennis, Mountain Biking & Hiking (dangit Oklahoma!), Jet-Skiiing, Rafting (category 3 rapids and up!), Canoing, and pretty much anything that pertains to water.

Let's see...what other random things do I love? ...I'm a pretty big fan of tennis, ping pong, and um...spelunking/cave diving...really. I've transitioned to a healthier lifestyle and I LOVE it! Running, lifting, biking. Getting back to the old Aaron - in fighting shape.

Media Production: Video, Graphics, Animation (I'm a founder of Viastream Media Corporation and TULSA.TV - Tulsa's first local search engine and homepage. I also serve at LifeChurch.tv full-time. I create training media for the church - online lessons and videos.

I really get a kick out of laughing and joking around with people. I enjoy uncovering what people are REALLY passionate about and finding unique gifts in others and sparking their desire to grow.

I enjoy movies that have rich characters and actually make me think. Travel is pretty big on my list. I LOVE IT! I've gotten to go all over the world - 4 continents and 19 countries. I love discovering new cultures and learning history. I obviously love media in all it's forms and I strive to maintain a general knowledge and skilled level of understanding in most areas - it's just fun!

IF YOU EVER WANT TO HAVE A GREAT CONVERSATION, JUST ASK ME ABOUT MY TOP 100 LIST (Things I'm planning to do before my heart stops). I'm up to 72 - actually 71 now - I got to hang out in Times Square with my friends on New Years Eve this year. One DOWN - a bunch more to go!! Have any great ideas that I should add to my LIST?

I'd like to meet:

Elijah the prophet, Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings guy), Billy Graham (or his son), and my lovely wife (I'll keep ya posted).

Music:

I have diverse musical taste. Every day involves music - no matter what. I don't play the piano as much now-a-days, but I listen to Itunes all the time. I listen to pretty much anything (expect for explicit stuff). A few of my current favorites include: OneRepublic, Mute Math, Sanctus Real, Mika, Imogen Heap, All American Rejects, Lincoln Park, Maroon 5, Timbaland, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble, Christina Aguilera (Back to Basics album), Hellogoodbye, CeCe Winans, Kirk Franklin, Israel Houghton, Gladys Knight.

Movies:

Some current favorites:

Children of Men, Happy Feet, The Departed, The Prestige, Batman Begins, Finding Neverland, Crash, Hook, Lord of the Rings, Finding Nemo, Shallow Hal, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Incredibles, Cold Mountain, Momento, Tommy Boy, Galaxy Quest.

Television:

Heroes is currently the best show on television. I don't watch nearly as much as I should! (Didn't expect THAT sentence did you!?). I love nature shows in HD! I follow American Idol pretty closely because I love music so much. And 24 used to be a great show...now, not so much.

Books:

I LOVE TO READ online. I am constantly up-to-date with current events and popular information. I keep up with blogs spend quite a bit of time exploring new ideas online. A few life-changing books: Good to Great, 4 Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive, Wild at Heart, Confessions of a Pastor (by Craig Groeschel), Type Talk at Work, Habitutes (by Tim Elmore)...good stuff!

Heroes:

My Dad and Mom are really great people. I couldn't live without Jesus.
