Life is short. It's a fleeting, unpredictable adventure.

I'm a on a mission to follow Jesus and be a husband and dad who cherishes his wife and kids. On these things I place the highest value.

Beyond that, I'm an entrepreneur, a designer, a user experience expert, and an online business development professional. I've started two companies: LEAF9 and GIVING SHARED, and a myriad of smaller ventures.

I enjoy spending time with my family, adventuring in the great outdoors, traveling, great design, and good coffee. I don't want to waste my life - I want it to count for a purpose greater than myself. I believe that Jesus meant what he said about being the only way to God, and I hope to lay down my life, my will, and my plans in exchange for the life, will, and plans that he has in mind.

Because...

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)

and...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
