My Website: ECHO FAITH
Faith, Design, A Relevant Life.
I am a 26 year old guy living in Mill Creek, WA.
This is me.
Faith
I was blessed with a christian home and loving family. I’ve been christian most of my life but fell into a self-serving life through high-school. Following graduation I came back to my savior and re-dedicated my life to the Lord. Now I continue living the day-to-day adventure of exploring, experimenting, and learning about my Creator and His creation.
I try to keep my faith fresh, real and genuine by constantly challenging my own beliefs and keeping an open mind. I also believe the greatest way I can live out my faith is to follow the example of Jesus with two simple ideas - love God and love people.
Design
I have a passion for creative arts and media. When I was 12, my dad gave me a copy of Photoshop. I’ve been creating ever since.
I mostly prefer the dirty / grungy look and my favorite design is music-related. I love doing CD covers, concert posters, promotional flyers, etc. But I’ve also tried to widen the range of my design skills in the last few years so that I can also excel at cleaner design that aims towards a wider age-range.
Currently I work as the graphic designer / web designer / creative guy / etc for Gold Creek Community Church.
I am also a freelance graphic designer / web designer / creative guy / etc on the side. Contact me for more info.
Life
I love movies. When I got my first real job and moved out of my parents house I barely made enough money to live. But every extra nickel and dime I could save went straight to building the DVD collection. It started simply with the special edition of Unbreakable and now reaches somewhere between 150-200 DVDs and growing. Some of my absolute favorites are Adaptation, Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Galaxy Quest, Garden State, Face/Off, High Fidelity, Memento, Pieces Of April, Requiem For A Dream, Road To Perdition, Saving Private Ryan, Swingers… to name a few. Also anything that I didn’t mention that includes Tom Hanks is pretty much an automatic classic.
I also love music. I used to play guitar for the band Blu Llama 2 which sadly broke up in the summer of 2004, but I still play a lot and am hoping to join or form another band sometime in the near future. Some of the bands that totally rock are Blink 182, Brand New, Chevelle, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab For Cutie, The Early November, Emery, Fall Out Boy, Falling Up, Frou Frou, Good Charlotte, Hoobastank, Imogen Heap, Jack’s Mannequin, Jem, The Juliana Theory, Kids In The Way, Linkin Park, Lucerin Blue, Mae, Matchbook Romance, Mourning September, The Notwist, P.O.D., Philmore, The Postal Service, Relient K, Skillet, Spoken, Superchic(k), Thousand Foot Krutch, Thrice, Toby Keith, United, The Wedding, Yellowcard., and more. I guess I can’t really say it’s much of an exclusive list. I’m always looking to find new music though so if you have some let me know!
