| Introduction | I count myself a follower of Christ, engaged in a daily battle to live, grow and serve Him in faith through His grace and not on my own merits. The past ten years I have shared with my wife and best friend. She stands by me as my greatest cheerleader and confidant, rejoicing with me in victories and holding me up in defeat. The next thing you should know is how much I love my two daughters, Madison and Victoria. The fact that God has entrusted two of His most precious creations to be raised by someone so fallible blows my mind. To have an opportunity to see life through the eyes of innocence I lost long ago is more amazing than I can describe. On the lighter side, I love to laugh. I get silly when I get tired, and when I get tired playing board games I tend to without warning break into 80's power ballads. I'm a trivia nut, a news junkie and a history buff. If you strike up a conversation with me, there's a good chance that I'll try too hard and end up with a lot of awkward pauses. I apologize in advance for that, it's something I'm working on. As time goes on I'm sure I'll think of more. As it is, I've already exceeded my expectations... |
