CURRENT MISSION

To give more than I get

ABOUT ME

Well I'm one of 4 children. I'm married to an amazing woman named Melissa. I guess you could say I'm outgoing? I like to hang out with people that have similar interests to mine. But I guess that's everybody. Ummm. Don't know what else to say about myself. I moved out of my parents house when I was 17 to take a video production job. And after doing that till i was 20, I started my own photography and video company. So now I work when I want, and travel when I want. It's quite nice. I hope that tells you something. Oh and most importantly I believe in the Gospel of Christ.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe you can conqueror the world with service and love. And that love is the most rare and cherished thing in the Universe. My goal is to walk in that sort of love. The kind of love that washes it's enemies feet. The kind that forgives while being beaten to death. But not the stupid hippie love or cultural Christian love, but rather the true forgotten Jesus Christ love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I walked on the moon once. Actually, no, I didn't do that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I grew up in a small church in Texas. And after discovering the beauty of the Gospel for myself in my teens, I enjoy showing others that same beauty. But I realize that most of Christianity you see isn't even close to true Christianity. So I can talk for hours about Scripture and Christ.
