Now The Good Stuff

• I absolutely love every aspect of Latin culture; food, music, sport, language, and especially the people.
• I used to live in England for 2 years.
• I have one brother named Brent who will be a freshman at Kennesaw State University, starting this fall.
• I worked at Chick-fil-A for 4 years.
• I played varsity soccer and tennis in high school at Providence Christian Academy.
• My high school superlative was the Most Laid Back (so I am pretty chill and nothing fazes me too much).
• I was baptized in the Jordan River.
• I was left in New Zealand by myself on a mission trip as the rest of the group went onto Australia.
• I love anything adventurous, such as wakeboarding, snowboarding, kiteboarding (basically anything with a board), and scuba diving.
• If anyone is up for racquetball, I am always down for a game.
• I desperately want to go skydiving, and would love to have someone join me.
• I am an avid fan of the most glorious football team in all the world, Manchester United (by the way this refers to the football where you actually use your feet).
• I was fortunate enough to do 2 study abroads in both Costa Rica and Spain.
• I played in the World Series of Poker in 2007.
• I enjoy playing guitar and singing worship music.
• Machu Picchu, in Peru, is the one place I have to visit before I die.
• I am obsessed with Passion and anything done by Louie Giglio.
• I worked with the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign and I believe he is the most honest politician in Congress (too bad there aren’t more people like him in office).
• I enjoy studying apologetics and Ravi Zacharias blows my mind every time I hear him.
• My passion is to travel and I hope to travel to every country in the world (I know this is highly unlikely, but you might as well dream big).
• I am not, but I know I AM and I am part of an irresistible revolution of loving God and loving others, shining for His Name and Renown!
