About Me

So I'm supposed to sum myself up in a paragraph here, right? Hmmm. I'm a student, a photographer, a coach and a Mason. I went to Texas A&M University for 4 1/2 years and am finishing up school here in Reno, Nevada. I will graduate with a degree in Photography with a minor in either Theatre or Genocide, Holocaust, and Peace Studies. I love God, the outdoors, good wine, good food and good conversation. If you want to impress me, know who you are and have confidence in what you believe. Have honor and live by it. I am a dreamer, a doer, an activist, an idealist, a comedian, a lover, a fighter, a helper, an uncle, a friend, a brother and a son. I am a soldier, statesman and knightly gentleman. I am a Christian, a hero, a villain, a guest, a host, a stranger and a mortal. I am intolerant, judgemental, cruel and unkind. I am warm, giving, accepting and gracious. I am John, and it would be my honor to meet you.

My Interests

Photography, Cycling, Art, History, Theatre, Politics, Apologetics, The Freemasons, Getting George Bush out of Office, etc.

I'd like to meet:

You.

Music:

You name it, I probably like it. I listen to a little of everything from classical to rock to jazz to country.

Movies:

V for Vendetta, In America, The Passion of the Christ, Big Fish, Moulin Rouge, Ocean's 11, Schindler's List, Million Dollar Baby, Ladder 49, We Were Soldiers, Pulp Fiction, Saw, End of the Spear, The Constant Gardener, City of God, Born into Brothels etc. etc. etc. I love movies.

Television:

I like The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Whose Line is it Anyway and South Park. But other than that it's pretty much just the news, discovery channel, national geographic channel or comedy central. I really don't watch a whole lot of television.

Books:

The Bible, Think on These Things by Krishnamurti, Getting Stoned with Savages by J. Maarten Troost, anything by Shakespeare, David Ives, Lee Child, Hunter S. Thompson, Clive Cussler or Chris Durang, The Aubrey/Maturin Novels and anything else I can get my hands on.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, my mom and dad, John Muir, my girlfriend Elena, and my best friends, Adam, Ben, Mike, Josh and Curtis. Oh yeah... Willie Nelson and John Wayne, God bless them.
