About Me

There's not much to tell about me. I'm a normal guy who's grown up on the West Coast, been in church all my life, and after years of odd jobs and college decided to join the Navy. I've seen a lot of places and met a lot of good people along the way. My life has been pretty unremarkable, except that when I look back I can see the hand of God at work in every area. He is the one who's taken the unimportant pieces and the events I couldn't explain and crafted them into something good. Something noteworthy. It's crazy, but, in Christ my life takes on a whole new meaning. What I do finally matters. I can finally say that my life is not wasted, and that I have a purpose for living, beyond doing whatever feels good at the moment. The cool thing is that everyone can live, knowing why they're here on planet earth. There is a reason, a purpose, and destiny for every man, woman, and child that exist. All one has to do is get to know the one who created his purpose. It's not about religion. Religion is dead. It's about relationship. I challenge you to seek him out. His name is Jesus.

My Interests

Music!! I love all sorts: listening to and playing it. I play piano, bass guitar, violin, and Irish tin whistle. I love the traditional Irish & Folk tunes and am aspiring to increase my skill. It is my view that music was created by the Lord, and for the Lord...Every instrument and voice should and WILL praise Him. From the wordless tune to the praise song sung from the heart--it's all for Him. He is the author of music and the best songs/sounds come from Heaven to Earth.I love other cultures/languages and am still studying to become fluent in Japanese.Photography, Reading
