About Me

Yo. My name is Russ and I am now 24, which sounds crazy old! As of January 24th, I will be officially moved into my new home in Lexington, Kentucky where I am moving to help plant a church that God has put in our hearts. I am very excited, though sad to leave behind so many awesome friends and family. I will be serving as the Teaching/Discipleship Pastor at "The Bridge" church there, while working as the assistant manager at the Buckle. If you're reading this, keep us and the church in your prayers and know that I love you!

    "I'd really like to know how it came to this. Is there something I should know, something that I missed? Something you can tell me that will help recover? I'd really like to know why you had to let it go. I wonder where you'll go, wonder where you'll live. And how you tell yourself that you can do without it. Cuz I should let you know, I gave all I could give. And now i have to tell myself to forget about it. yeah I'd really like to know why you had to let it go. someday, when the world has let you down, I'll be the one you think about, when there's no one else around. yeah, someday, I'll be the one you always say, that you could not replace. someday."

    "True love is something that comes easy." - Angels and airwaves
