CURRENT MISSION

To live the life of love and adventure that I know God created me for and to share Christ primarily by trying to treat people the way he treated them.

ABOUT ME

I love God and so I love people...those two are one in the same for me. I am often quite and thoughtful, I make an effort to make people feel at home, I am a runner, hiker, mountain biker, and rock climber. I'm a nalgene toting, granola munching, slackline cruising, bad spanish speaking, fire and blade juggling, endlessly energetic human being.

PHILOSOPHY

I have found a new life and a deep hope in Jesus Christ. I don't know everything about my faith and asking questions and examining why I believe what I believe is very important to me. I am a prideful human being. But I am not so prideful to believe that I no longer have anything to learn. We all have something to share with each other as humans. Being a student doesn't end after not is it limited to the institutes of high school or college...it is a lifelong process and the kinds of teachers are endless.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like action and comedy the most I think. Favorite stories include His Dark Materials, Chronicals of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Count of Monte Cristo...etc. I am enthusiastic about starting the Twilight series from the way Pyne talks about them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked to the summit of Chirripó in Cost Rica last week...it was the most beatiful place I have ever seen. It is a challenging hike but well worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Pura Vida: Pura Vida is a phrase they use in costa rica and it means everything is all right. Literally translated "pure life" it is the tican (native CR) verson of Hakuna-matata. The whole country seemed to be infected by this good disease. They use that phrase for everything: a greeting, and answer to the question "how are you?", as a phrase of hope, as a goodbye, cowabunga, and your welcome. I loved how tranquil and chill there life down there is and I am deterined to bring this contageous attitude to the US of A.
