About me: I am married to an amazing woman named Shelley and we have a hillarious daughter named Keziah, and a son named Zebedee who likes to say "Bo-butt" which I think means robot. We are in the middle of adopting a child from Haiti. His name is Woodelson. He's 2 years old and likes to eat massive quantities of beans and rice. I am in Vancouver, B.C. at Regent College pursuing a Masters in Theology and the Arts. Many people raise an eyebrow when I say this, but it makes sense to me. God is good, true, and beautiful... and the more you separate these things the less you can really get to know Him. I am a visual artist, and received my training from Seattle Pacific University, graduating in the year 2000. I also enjoy playing all kinds of instruments and writing music. My visual art (painting & photography) can be seen in the slideshow below and at throwing-clay.com or at cafe press/pressedclay. I like a good frolick in the deep waters of theology, philosophy, culture, and the arts, and hope someday to write books about these topics. A greater dream would be to make a blockbuster film that incorporates these elements. You can see one of my short films, "lights out" on Google Video. Check my blog for ongoing thoughtscapades. Don't be afraid to dialogue! Keep it real.

Hey man how have you been? How's schooling going for you? I need to get you my new address because I haven't gotten any of your news letters in forever bro.
Thanks again always for the words you spoke to me in those days when I needed it most.
Sometimes Corrigan, I just feel the need to remind you that you are a creative genius. It's not just the graphics, not just the charm, it's the use of phrases like "Steamed Deodorant Flakes."
Hey man... how are things going? Send me an e-mail sometime... Life has changed a LOT, so I've got plenty to tell you! Hope to hear from you soon man!!!
Corrigan! What's going on, brother? Man, you're one talented dude. Your sense of humor cracks me up, too. I heard that you're going to be running the MCYM website. It looks like it's gone through an overhaul. Is that your doing?
