CURRENT MISSION

To meet a ton of people and see a ton of places.

ABOUT ME

First and foremost I am a far from perfect Christian. I continually strive to improve my relationship and try my best to tell others about my relationship and Christs love for them, but I do fail at times. On that note, even though that my Christianity is very important to me, I try my best to not be judgmental. As of right now I as stated in my occupation, I am an aspiring photographer. I have been running a photography business shooting mainly weddings for the last few years and love it. I am continually trying to learn more about the art. I have also been working part-time in the electronics department at Staples for the last 7 years. I don't consider myself a nerd, although some may, I'm just kind of a gear head when it comes to electronics. Most of all, I just love life and love people. My family and friends are very important to me. I love to travel and I have been very fortunate to combine my passion for people, Christ, and photography on several mission trips to other countries. God willing, I would love to keep missions a part of my life until I can't do them anymore. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with friends, traveling, church activities, the lake, sports, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day like its your last. Although I don't always follow that philosophy, I try to. Love life, love people, and show others the love Christ has for you and for them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the opportunity on several occasions to go to different countries and meet so many different people and be a part of their lives.

In Nicaragua I helped in the aide of 5000+ people in 4 days seek medical, dental, hygiene, spiritual, and other kinds of help. It was amazing. On the very last day after being worn out in the heat, getting little sleep, and feeling unappreciated by people at times, a little Nicaraguan girl had me kneel down and she gave me one of the biggest hugs in the world. Although when I look back it was definitely worth it, it was at that time that I completely forgot about myself on that trip and realized things are way bigger than me. God definitely worked miracles that week. During that visit to Nicaragua, I also witness a possessed guy come to know the Lord. I have always been a skeptic of the demon possessed stuff, etc., but if what I saw was not real, I was made a fool.
