  Hobbies: reading, watching a great movie, dancing with my kid, annoying my wife, trying to get a laugh or reaction out of those around me (it doesn't work as much as I'd like) and hopefully weightlifting (if I can get over my 5 years of waiting and excuses...this week I'm going to try, I hope...after lunch at Burger King)
Favorite TV: Band of Brothers (best series that will ever be made), 24, King of Queens, Wildboyz
Currently Reading: Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus
  Dumbest moment: In the dorm in college, we used to play the whipping game, where the manliest men (or dumbest) would hit each other in the rear with a leather belt. I thought I would try to win the respect of all and be the manliest by taking my spanking from the star running back from the football team (the kid was a monster). It left a mark for at least 10 days...Don't try this at home!
Music: Jack Black, U2, Pearl Jam (does anyone still listen to them?), Derek Webb
Latest News: Virginia is pregnant! Excited to get the youth ministry up and running and growing in Vernon!
