About Me

i am learning how to live in the tension of art and faith without walking away from one or the other...i have found that i cannot leave either, they are the two driving forces behind who i am and how i view the world. over the last several years i have learned that i do not like living the normal 9-5 life. in fact i hate it. in part i think my time in graduate school is to figure out what i do want and what that looks like. plus all the learning about how messed up i am that comes with being at mars hill. learning to live and love my roommates well with out driving them crazy.
