What Lights Me Up
Making people laugh and smile with the work I create.
Part Of Church I'm Excited About
Making people laugh and smile with any of the work I create....and when other people get excited about getting involved and wanting to create things with me. We're all a team! My favorite thing about being a part of Crossroads is The incredible staff and volunteers that make this church what it is.
Outside Of Sunday, You'll Find Me
Writing music, taking photos, doing house projects, or trying to keep up with my kids. And definitely NOT watching any sort of reality tv with my wife after my kids go to bed. :).
If You Want To Say Hi, Ask Me About
Music, filmmaking, creative projects, woodworking, Rubik's cubes.
Something Encouraging Me Recently
Seeing Crossroads lean into prayer, honesty, and a deeper sense of who God wants this church to be.
Rapid fire
A few quick answers
The food I will always say yes to
Candy. My dentist LOVES me.
A book, album, or show I keep recommending
The Shins early albums of course.
Small joy I never get tired of
Good lighting, good friends, laughing really hard, long walks on the beach, long walks on the road, long walks over hot coal, and long walks off of short piers.
If my week had a theme song, it'd be
Anything Joe sings when I hear him in the hallway.
A skill I respect that I don't have
Playing any bowed instrument.
The weirdest job I've ever had
Worked at the waterfront Spaghetti Factory for 2 weeks. I wanted to be a bus boy. They made me a front of house host so I had to talk to people! TALK TO PEOPLE! I just wanted to clear their plates in silence...and no it's not because I wanted to try all the left over food.
Favorite Scripture
Proverbs 6:10-11.
Most underrated thing in Portland
Coffee.
I wish there were more coffee shops. They are so unknown.
