CURRENT MISSION

Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God. -Jim Elliot

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the east Texas college-town of Nacogdoches. My dad is an agriculture professor at our local university, Stephen F. Austin State. After graduating from high school, I stayed in 'Nac' and got my Bachelors at SFA in Political Science and then a Masters in Public Administration. I'm currently studying for a second Masters- this one in Peace and Conflict Studies- at the University of St. Andrews in St. Andrews, Scotland.

PHILOSOPHY

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
-Jack Kerouac
