Okay. About me?... First and foremost, I am a Christian (a born again believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior). I am very proud of that fact, but hopefully in a way that's not wrong. 1 Cor. 1:31 - "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord". I believe that Jesus Christ died for us all so that we could have total access to eternal life with him: the greatest gift ever. We need just to reach out and accept it...


My second priority (under my faith) is my family and friends. I have an amazing family that I love to talk with and hang out with. We're always together, pretty much for every activity you can think of. We're all big "family time" fans, haha. So hey, see me around the town, you'll be seeing the fam not too far behind...


I have the four most amazing best friends in the world! Megan Hasse, Emily Pierce, Jordan Forster, and my sister Olivia. So many good times have been had with these people! We all can talk about anything and everything, and I am so blessed to have them in my life. Best friends forever! I love them all so much.


Included within that group of friends (as I mentioned) is Megan! The value she holds in my life is way more than I have ever been able to describe to anyone, let alone to her, and I make a fool of myself trying to do so! I definitely look forward to what the future (both immediate and far off) holds for us, with lots of anticipation! ...Together, always...

I was born in Pittsburgh ya'll, and I am very proud of that, haha. I'll tell you now, Pitt natives own! So just get it in your head. :-D


I work at a golf course, The Elks Country Club in State College. We do maintenance, like mowing and bunkers and all that good stuff. I get paid to drive around in a golf cart all day! Not a bad job.


I play drums too... and I really like to play/listen to hardcore(ish) stuff.... even though i stink at the drums, lol. It's still fun though. My favorite drummers are Aaron Gillespie from Underoath, or the drummer in August Burns Red. They're both amazing.


So I listen to Christian metal/rock most of the time... and I really admire how bands can make sweet music and breakdowns, but at the same time give their talents and their stage presence to Christ. Thats something very cool to me... and I've been digging these quotes from some of my favorite bands, blending their faith with music:





-"...We are not ashamed to say that we're a Christian band. Every effort we make is for one reason, and one reason alone: our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ... I like to think of I Corinthians 10:31 'Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.'"-


-Jeremy DePoyster (The Devil Wears Prada)-





-"It is important to us that people know that we are indeed Christians, which is one of the reasons we pray on stage before we play, usually. We do this because we think it lets people know that we are all Christians, without having us stand up there and ram it down peoples throats. As far as our lyrics go, many of them deal with other things in life, because even though we are Christians, we still deal with the everyday things that everyone else does. However, if you want to interpret all of our lyrics in a Christian manner, then more power to you, we just want our lyrics to come across with some sort of positive message."-


-Brent Rambler (August Burns Red)-





-"I want there to be an ocean between me and that, as far as in my hopes and dreams. What's important to me needs to be what's eternal, not necessarily the material things of this world."-


-Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying)-





I play golf, which isn't as wimpy as a lot of people make it sound, haha... well... maybe it is. But I still play it!! It's one of the only non-corrupted sports around these days, so that has to count for at least something... It's a lot of fun (if uncomprehendingly frustrating), so that's all that matters. Right? Heh.


So thats pretty much all about me, all in an "About Me" section.
