About me:

I'm a devout Christian fella who is really into Christian Apologetics, the study of scripture and mission work. My passion is to grow relationships with the forgotten and abused, help them in any way that I can and experience the love of the Father with them and through them. I feel very strongly about abolishing the death penalty and thinking of alternatives to our current prison systems. I believe that we should spend more time and energy learning and teaching others how to forgive others and themselves. I'm also a professional musician, natural builder and luthier. I have a company called SmokeBox Instruments

Who I'd like to meet:

People that are passionate about Christ, People that have been hurt or angered by people calling themselves Christians, People tired with overconsumerism and affluence, People with a passion for people, people with a passion for music, people with passion...

    Hi Brian!  I was just talking about you to my mom yesterday!  Well Jen and I are off to Cancun on Thursday for a few days to explore the Aztec ruins and soak in the culture - sandy huts with bongo music - dancing barefoot - enjoying the sunrises and sunsets!!!  I'll share my pictures with you when we come back!  When will I see you again?

    Hi Brian! Thanks for sending me that reminder of the festival a while back, I have to laugh...I will still be out of town, in Austin when it takes place! I guess I'm just destined to miss it each year, LOL. I shouldn't say that, I know that eventually I'll make the Stooges Festival, like I say every year! Thanks for thinking of me:) I hope you're doing well.
