About Me



"To travel that path, the one seldom attempted by others, typically requires personal resolve, a four-wheel drive vehicle, and a backpack." - Death Valley Backcountry Safaris

"If your lens was changed for a moment, Would you still be the same?" - Kutless

"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:31-32

Life is about freedom and freedom is found in Christ. When I say I'm a Christian, I am honestly admitting that I am broken, lost, hurting, and needing the grace and peace found in Him who gave His life for us. How can you deny His free gift?

There are always interests getting added to this list... so let me know if you see something I missed!

I'd like to meet:

Well, I like to meet people like me. People who aspire to be like Christ. People who find beauty in their surroundings. People who feel the need to explore this earth God placed us on... and by explore I mean willing to walk 3 miles along active/live railroad tracks through a marsh to visit a ghost town or drive for 6 hours to 4wheel on a black sand beach or go 5 days without a shower in the desert exploring abandoned mines or camping in the snow because it means the next day you get to go hiking at 10,000ft in search of mummies.

My family and friends are important to me. I like to catch up with them for coffee or dinner and a walk to discuss life and the unique experiences we all have. I'm hoping to find a girl who enjoys the same!

I'm not in to the party scene at all and I'm absolutely looking for a girl who isn't as well. If your definition of a 'good time' is staring up at the stars for hours contemplating the heavens, curling up with a good book/movie in front of a fire, or engaging in a quality conversation then I'd like to meet you.

In a perfect world, I'd find a woman who is excited that I drive a beat-up pickup truck because she knows that it is our ticket to explore God's green earth! Far fetched, I know. I can dream too, can't I? If you look really cute in a hoodie sweatshirt, jeans and a beanie then we really need to talk.
