About me

Gender Male
Introduction I am in a weird place in life. A sort of transition where I have one foot loosely touching a life I once knew and the other slowly bearing weight in a world still taking shape. It is this next chapter I am trying so desperately to embrace because although it is unlike everything I have known before, beauty exists here in forms I yearn for. I have a precious little girl who lights up my world and a wife who continues to amaze me on a daily basis. I work at a coffee shop which never came more in handy than when Olivia was born. I love the outdoors - the closer I am to creation the closer I feel to God's heart and my own. I love creating. Making something out of nothing. I am sure I will get into this more later.
Interests Flyfishing, Reading, enjoying a nice stroll with Ang, playing peak-a-boo with Olivia, writing, watching the Ducks, backpacking, and other general "manning" around activities
Favorite Movies Lord of the Rings trilogy, A River Runs Through It, Return to Me (love the old guys), Anchorman
Favorite Music Death Cab, David Gray, Jack Johnson, David Crowder, Counting Crows, The Fray, Copeland, Brand New
Favorite Books Harry Patter and the Eragon series as far as just getting lost in a story. Good reads include Orthodoxy by Chesteron, Cost of Discipleship by Bonhoeffer and Dark Night of the Soul by St John of the Cross. I also love what Ang calls "male romance novels" aka outdoor/adventure stories like Touching the Void, Into the Wild, and The Last Season.
