Computer or TV? Yes.

How old were you when you first felt called to ministry? 19.  My Freshmen year of College.  Sensed a clear burden to help students caught in religion to truly experience a relationship with Jesus. Crazy thing… I’ve spent the past 18 years ministering to students in the same religious community (church on every corner) as I grew up in.

What do you enjoy doing outside of youth ministry? I’m a Disney World nut.  Love planning and going on trips.

Are you a good dancer? So horrific I’m entertaining.  

What color shoes are you wearing?  Barefoot (I’m actually filling out this questionnaire naked… not really, but wouldn’t that be hilarious?!?)

What’s the worst injury that’s happened on one of your event/camp/retreat/missions trip/etc.?  At a Junior High Outreach, a student broke his arm in two different spots.

How good are you at keeping receipts? There have been multiple “rules” instituted because of me.

Does your church administrator love or hate you?  I was her youth pastor and my wife mentored her… she has to love me!
