So,
where to begin? I guess I’ll begin where it all starts and ends, which
is that I am madly and desperately in love with my Savior who saved me
through a grace that I didn’t deserve yet he unconditionally loves me
despite what little I have to offer Him. The reason I am doing this trip
is because His kingdom alone is where I am putting all my hope and
faith, and I am so joyful that He will move through my service as I
learn to pour out His love into others. I have recently thought about
how others view me or what will my legacy or memory be, and the answer I
discovered that I want to be known for is that all the days of my life I
lived as a true man of God who seeked His will despite the cost, and a
man who was known by his fruit.
A little bit about
myself. I grew up in the snow-filled state of Michigan for 11 years and
am a die-hard Michigan Wolverines fan (hope there’s no buckeyes out
there haha). I was raised as a preacher’s kid and grew up in the church
and lived a relatively normal life and accepted Christ at an early age,
but I didn’t really come into my own faith until late high-school/early
college. I moved to Chattanooga, TN, at 14 and have been in Tennessee
since. I go to Middle Tennessee State University (just south of
Nashville) and got my undergrad degree in accounting and will be getting
my M.B.A. in December ’10. I have a twin sister, who I am older than by
one minute, and she goes to the University of Tennessee. I especially
love the outdoors and backpacking and love every kind of sport,
especially basketball, soccer, football, cycling, ultimate frisbee, etc.
I have really grown in my faith these last few years, but realize I
still have so much to learn in my walk with God and am excited about
this opportunity to really grow my faith.

I am a really
easy-going, laid-back guy who just enjoys life, loves having fun, taking
adventures, meeting challenges, so feel free to contact or approach me.
I look forward to meeting everybody and will be praying for everyone
about to embark on this adventure with me! Needless to say, I’m
pumped!!!
