Introduction I am a mud man filled with the glory of God because of the work of Christ. I am trying to live in the tension of this beautiful paradox. I was raised in California, educated in Iowa, married in Kentucky, had three kids in Missouri, and now live in Illinois with my lovely wife, Lauren, and all three of my incredible kids (see the links below). I am a believer in Jesus and serve him as the lead pastor of Trailhead Church in Edwardsville, IL.
Interests Spending time with Lauren and my kids doing whatever, the west coast, Pacific Ocean, skateboarding, skiing, going fast, reading, writing, teaching, watching good movies, eating good food, drinking good drink, fishing, hanging with friends, dreaming, and taking risks
Favorite Movies I love Clint Eastwood, especially the spaghetti westerns and Unforgiven. Others that I really enjoyed include Training Day, Tombstone, Princess Bride, 300, Hunt for Red October, Kung-Fu Hustle, Remains of the Day, The Incredibles, and Crash.
Favorite Music U2, DMB, Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, Brandi Carlisle, Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, Radiohead, Coldplay, etc.
Favorite Books The Cross of Christ, Till We Have Faces, Lonesome Dove, The Bible, The Violent Bear It Away, Elders and Leaders, etc.

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

I am nowhere near hip enough to get away with a scarf.
