About Me

I'm really not sure what to write about myself in a short paragraph that complete strangers are free to judge me on. I guess I'll start by saying that I love God with everything within me, and try to seek His will for my life. I'm working on my fifth year of marriage to my wife jana who I love very much as well...obviously. We live in Raleigh, NC where I am a campus pastor for a really cool Christian school, that lets me do lots of things that no one should ever get paid for, and jana is a dental hygenist. We are currently pregnant with our first child...a boy (Brody). I love to travel to speak, play music, and just chill. This year, I've spent a lot of time overseas in... the bahamas, costa-rica, paris, florence, rome, and london...all part of those things that no one should actually get paid for. With other free time, I write and record music...mostly record demos for other writers. I also love breaking and training horses. Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net
