I’m 34 now.
I’m married and loving it!
I have three kids: ages 7, 5 and 3, and they are best!
But before you go any further, there are some things you should know… The longest I have ever gone without sleep was during last days of high school – approximately 67 hours from 730 Sunday morning until about 230 Wed morning. I crammed in Baccalaureatte, All Night Senior Party, Grad Rehearsal, Graduation, Grad Nite, Breakfast w/friends,a Briones hike, and a Tom Petty concert at Shoreline with my best friend and I think all my ancestors. I tried it again three months later and fell asleep at a Niners game 31 hours in. Never again. I want to write a book entitled “Ink is Precious” and it would just contain nothing but hundreds of blank pages. Then I would write another book entitled, “Trees, Too, are Precious”, but I am still trying to figure that out. In 7th grade I high-jumped my height of 5 feet to win the “gold” for the event on Track and Field day. I have done it only three times since. I was Jason Priestley for a night to dozens of adoring fans in Scotland while I visited in 1997. They blocked the exits from the pub until I had signed his name several times and taken a picture with every imploring admirer. My first college roommate scammed his car insurance company out of 10 grand ($10,000) by stripping his Honda of all his stereo equipment after someone broke in only to slash his backseat and swipe his extensive collection of boy-band CDs. Out of all the teeth that I have lost, all but two were extracted by “professionals” that were a bit tightfisted on the meds. In my head, my life has the coolest soundtrack ever. I believe God’s truth, as in what is found in Scripture, is the standard by which we should measure everything else. For some reason that still mystifies me, I am not fond of tomatoes. Yet I am cool with ketchup AND tomato soup. I just found out there is no such word as “religion” in Hebrew. Now I just need to learn the language. Walking through the forest in the rain is one of the best ways to hike. Sometimes it’s fun to destroy furniture. My nickname all through high school was UG – stood for “undergarments”. Great name for the dumbest reason. In June 1998, I prayed that God would give me $100 while I was driving to work. I found five twenties blowing across the next intersection. I was home schooled all the way through fifth grade. I fell through a second story window of a church in Belgium and received only the adrenaline rush from what might have been. I wrote my initials in some wet cement on Viking Drive in P-Hill 20 years ago; they are still there today. I wrote my initials on the third tier of the Eiffel Tower 17 years ago; I haven’t seen them since. I am the ultimate Family Guy – no relation to Peter Griffin, thank you. Love my wife and I adore my kids! They are the absolute coolest! Get some if you don’t got any! I love to read! I write quite a bit, as you can see here. Sports (baseball, football, basketball, raquetball, etc). Music: listening, collecting, playing guitar. Camping, hiking, getting lost, learning, living. TRUTH.
MY FOUNDATIONAL TRUTHS or Things on which I base my entire life
1. The Bible was written by God, through the hands of man
2. Jesus was, and is, and always will be God
3. God was, and is, and is to come FOREVER
