I grew up in Charlottesville, home schooled , attended private & public school, and launched a grass cutting business in 1999. In my early years I sold lemonade on the street to make ends meet. I discovered books in 2007 and have been reading ever since. People call me a self-learner-partly because I opted out of college. Started leading Younglife in Feb 2008 and haven’t looked back since. I began my sales career in 2008 through the insurance industry and now I work for an online deal site and Elder Research, Inc. You might find me on the soccer pitch wearing short shorts and a gold uniform, in the weight room, or weedwacking for a client. I’m a Virginia Cavalier (Wahoowa) and recently I’ve become fond of Texas A&M. My secret dream job is 1.) photographer 2.) high school teacher 3.) police officer. I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ when I was six and have been living for Him ever since.

You can learn a lot about a person by the books they read. For a better perspective and context of my views and opinions, read my Book list.
