PVR 360 Go Kart
I am intrigued by anything that is creative or has an element of adventure. When I need a real fix, I take the PVR 360 or the PVR WRX Limited for a spin. I can often be found freeheel skiing or doing life with local teens. I enjoy making music with my hand drums and didgeridoos. It's way cool when you can create a sound from an instrument that you made with your hands. I love to worship our Lord!
Music
When it's time to amp it up, I am down with any track that could flow with epic ski and snowboard footage. I guess I evaluate music by how well it's suited for ski/snowboard movie segments.

Let me tell you about my wife Lisa. She has the most beautiful personality and is my best friend. The companionship God has provided through her is immeasurable. I always look forward to hanging with my bros. People in general are super entertaining. I can’t get enough of people watching. I enjoy company and am driven by relationships. The most important relationship to me is the one I have with Jesus Christ. Life with Him is full of adventure and purpose. My entire life revolves around my interaction with God. The rest of my days have been committed to His purpose and glory. Each day is another opportunity to mature and respond to His love, and worship Him in all the ways I live. The journey I am on is sure to be a satisfying one as I chase His Holy Spirit into my days.
I was born and raised in Buffalo, MN. I graduated from Buffalo Sr. High in 1998 followed by graduation from Bemidji Sate University in 2002 and am now attending Denver Seminary. Lisa and I were united in marriage on December 7th of 2002 in Lisa’s hometown Brainerd. We have been celebrating here in Summit County, Colorado ever since. We will stay here until God encourages otherwise.
I originally moved to the mountains in order to launch my skiing career and seek out an opportunity to work professionally in the ski/snowboard industry. My ski career flourished and for the first 4 years in Summit County, I managed production for a ski/snowboard binding manufacturer in Silverthorne, CO. Over the course of the past 6 years, God has grown a desire in my heart for a lifestyle of worship and ministry, which has led me into the lives of local teens. I served as the youth pastor for 2 ½ years at One Community Church in Dillon, CO. After almost 3 years of doing life with teens, God escorted me into full time ministry through my exit from the manufacturing world and in the back door of the local church. I am currently serving with Dillon Community Church www.dillonchurch.org as the Director of Youth Ministries and with SFC (Snowboarder/Skiers For Christ www.sfccolorado.com) as the Director of TEAM GROM. SFC is a teen and young adult outreach here in Summit County and across the globe. As my ski career and life with teens unfolds, I am amazed by the ways that God has orchestrated every detail of my life in order that I may serve Him in my fullest. Every aspect of life is intricately tied into another making for a multitude of opportunity to lovingly influence people in my daily life.
Who I'd like to meet: God willing, my future children. It will be absolutely amazing getting to know them. Raising children is the only major dream I haven’t lived yet. Everything else has come true.
I would also like to travel to Australia in hopes of finding an old school Aboriginal Didgeridoo Master. That would be flipp'n sweet.
