| Introduction | I am the son of a preacher. My mom, my sister, and I spent much of my childhood traveling around with my dad in an RV. My dad would preach at a different church every week and we would all sing and play music. Sounds rad, huh? We settled down in central Florida and my dad has been pastoring a church since 1991. I tried college for three semesters back in 96-97 and dropped out. I got married to the most wonderful woman in the world in June of 2002, and my wife and I have been dorm parents since then. My wife Cara graduated with her Master of Education degree in May 04. She is licensed to teach music in K-12 and to teach in the classroom K-8 (very versatile, isn't she?). My wife gave birth to our first child in December '04. Her name is Lillian Carol and she is beautiful, smart, and fiery! Now I'm back in school studying English, Religion, Creative Writing and Rhetoric, and Photography (I graduate in May '07!). I hope to make a living purely from the creative arts and teaching those arts (writing, photography, music, pretty much anything I can get my hands on that I can have fun at). |
