He loved me and died for me (and everyone else in the world!), that my sins might be forgiven and I can know I will spend eternity in heaven. I owe Him everything and desire to share with others what a difference He has made in my life. Jesus is the only source of true joy and fulfillment and satisfaction in life. He is the Author of all creativity, love, and beauty. My goal is to let others see Him through me, by sharing graphics, music, print media, writing, and whatever other doors He opens. It's a wonderful life. :-D My passion in life is to know Jesus Christ and to share Him with others.

I am passionate about everything...the 5 inches of snow that fell last night that made the commute a mess, the angry client that doesn't understand print and insists his printer is better at outputting images from the internet..girl scout cookies....the toothless smile of a happy baby...the glimmer in my father's blue eyes that I miss seeing so much...passion is my passion.

I love living life. I love not missing a day of it. No matter what life brings, I am excited to live it because I know I only have one chance for this life. I have so many interests it's hard to list them all without forgetting a handful every time. For the most part, you could say I was into anything artistic. Whether it be singing for my rock band Court Jester, swing dancing at the studio or creating print advertisements for the ad agency I work for, I am always up to something with a bit of creative power behind it. I also enjoy the outdoors. Boating, tennis, golf, biking, Frisbee, throwing the football around, playing catch, walking, picnics, even making snow angels in the winter. Am I going to far into my life, does it sound scattered to you? It isn't. I fill my life with the things I love, and I leave nothing on the table in doing it. Finally, I love shopping too. I know, I'm a guy who loves shopping. But picking up a new shirt or pair of awesome jeans or even a super cool new DB Clay wallet would just make my day. And winning one might even be cooler! So, let's live life together with one of those awesome new wallets! My passion is life. I love living life. I love not missing a day of it.

Almost to a ccompulsive level. Blue Cheese cut with butter on top of a steak crusted with pepper and fresh rosemary. Adding a few slices of real cheese to the kids Easy Mac to make it cheesier. Adding some fresh cilantro to the top of the chili that was a good use of a pork shoulder. Every time food is made there is a chance to make it better. After spending 2 days cleaning and cooking for a party that will only last 5 hours I question my sanity. Then the friends arrive and they consume the art. Not just look at it and listen...put it physically into their bodies. That is what I live for, and the expression when it is something they have never tasted before. That is why I do all that damn prep. They ask why I don't open a restaurant or catering or something. I beg them off and say the hours aren't good for a family and I waited tables for years, and the lifestyle is kind of rough. That is what I tell them. Truthfully, I might make a logo bigger and stop running the type sideways for a client, but I will never make bland food. ever. Cooking. Almost to a ccompulsive level.

She backs me in everything I do. When I pitched the idea to her 4 months ago that I wanted to start doing freelance work more steadily she jumped at it and pushed me even more. She pushes me in my faith, my day to day, my creative direction, and my passion. Without having a good support to what you love to do (in this case, design) it makes things tough. Having her be my passion that supports my other passion means the world to me. - Also, I am ashamed I haven't found this blog before until today. This Is a great resource! My wife.
