Michael André Smith

About me:

I've just about given up on Myspace.

..Click here to visit my Facebook!..

About half of you know me as Andy - and the rest of you know me as Michael.

Roles: First and foremost, I am a Christian. I am also a husband, father, veteran, church member at James River Assembly, tenor in the James River Choir, LifeGroup leader, Divorce Recovery / Divorce Care facilitator, on-air personality (at 99 Hit FM and 1340 KADI), hospital administrator, Master's graduate, former city administrator, former teacher, lifelong musician, and writer.

I've also been called a gun-toting, meat-eating, God-fearing, Bible-believing, card-carrying member of the Right Wing Conspiracy.

Youth: I grew up in Kansas, living in Milan, attending Argonia Schools until the middle of my 9th grade year. I made a one-semester stop in Wellington, before moving onto Winfield High School, from whence I graduated in 1989.

Family: I met my wife, Amy, at the Lighthouse Cafe & Coffee House in September 2001. We started dating in October, we were engaged by Thanksgiving, and married the following April (see my 'Our Wedding' photo album). All together, we have six kids, ranging in age from 2 years to 18.

My Thoughts On Liberals: In the spirit of keeping things PC, I have decided to remove the words 'liberal' and 'democrat' from my vocabulary, henceforth calling those individuals 'politically challenged'.

I attend church at James River Assembly, sing in the James River Choir, lead a LifeGroup, work at 99 Hit FM and 1340 KADI, watch a little TV, and keep up with family and friends on Facebook and Myspace.

I own / moderate an American Idol fansite (American Idol 4-1-1). It can be found here: http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/ai411/

And let's not forget the honey-do list...

* "Man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts." - Ronald Reagan

* In the spirit of keeping things PC, I have decided to remove the words 'liberal' and 'democrat' from my vocabulary, henceforth calling those individuals politically challenged.

* Love God. Love people. Love life.

* If you can't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them!

* If you can't find anything nice to say about somebody... you must be talking about Hillary Clinton.

* I'd rather hunt with Dick than ride with Ted.

* The best way to destroy a country is from the inside out. So... let's elect a Muslim president and see what happens!

* "Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth."
