| Introduction | I am by no means an expert on anything. I don’t even think my thoughts are that great or unique - at least not enough warrant people reading them or ‘following’ me. The only thing I can hope to contribute is another voice to the conversation. I am the youngest of two sons. My father past away when I was 9 months old and my mother quit her job to raise my brother and I. The Lord has led me through every step in my life. He called me to do youth ministry while on a mission trip in the Dominican Republic. From there he led me to Franciscan University of Steubenville to major in Theology and Catechetics with a concentration in Youth Ministry. He then led me out to Denver, Colorado where I am currently serving as a middle school youth minister. I am trying to keep my eyes and ears, heart and mind open for where God is leading me now and until then I try to be faithful day to day. |

| Favorite Movies | I am a sucker for 'father-son' movies. I am a fan of story as well. Blood Diamond, Rebel Without a Cause, Star Wars, Bourne Trilogy, Band of Brothers, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, Step Up (Don't Judge Me), Saving Private Ryan, and many others. |
| Favorite Music | Anything but country. I am a big fan of blues, jazz, folk, hip-hop, pop, alternative, etc. Favorite bands include Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, B.B. King, Josh Garrels, Switchfoot, and Michael Buble, amongst others. I am a sucker for lyrics so if a song has great lyrics I will probably like it. |
| Favorite Books | I am currently reading The Golden Spruce, Fulfillment of All Desire, Jesus of Nazareth, and some youth ministry books. |
