I mostly grew up in Abbotsford BC, which is in Canada for those that are wondering. Just so we’re clear from the start – I don’t live in an igloo, I don’t say ‘aboot’ or ‘eh’, it’s a roof, not a ruff, and it’s called a toque (a friend from California told me that many Americans call them beanies. Beanies have propellers on them). Now that some cultural stereotypes are out of the way…
I graduated from film school in ’04 and no longer use that degree, I have a passion for seeing people become who they really are under it all, and I love doing so all over the world. I like to take things on without an agenda, and so I’m quite comfortable making up a plan as I go, especially in unfamiliar places. Movies, music, any medium of story telling, and foods of any and every type are my things. I’ve loved missions since my first trip to Mexico in 2000, and since then God has continually called me to all different places around the world. Islamic cultures still intrigue me the most of all I’ve worked with.
A few fast facts about me:
- I’m a geek and proud of it
- I have 2 younger sisters, 2 nephews, and a brother in law
- I dabble in guitar
- When I start writing I find it hard to keep something short
- I’m horrible with languages: I failed french, and after living in Spain for 8 months I can (sort of) order food in a restaurant, that’s it
- Food is where the culture is at, so I eat most anything once, and there are few things so far I haven’t eaten twice
- Veggie-mite is something I won’t eat a second time
