This is my stomping ground online. I had an old site that I created about 10 years ago when I understood a lot less about the internet and social media. I also had a lot less time. I just imported a number of posts from that old blogger site to this new one.  Some go all the way back to 2007. W.O.W.

I am always working on a million things, it seems. So here is one more.

Who am I? That is a big question, certainly too large for anything so small as a web page.  But there are some things about my life that may interest you.

I worked in EMS from 1993-2006. I was a paramedic, and actually still am. I’m not an ambulance driver. I left that to avoid burnout and pursue other interests, including the work of a pastor. I have “officially” studied fire fighting, paramedic science, PA school prerequisites (finished but didn’t go to PA School), Organizational Leadership (BS), and Pastoral Ministry.  For a while I taught at a private community college in their health science department and loved it.  I am now in Fresno pastoring a church that we planted in 2009. Free Grace Church. Grace is free, even though we are constantly trying to barter for it. I love what I get to do, even though it is the hardest thing I have ever done. And I have done a lot of hard stuff.

I also love woodworking and created a site to share this with friends.

I consume LOTS of audiobooks on Audible and Scribd. I also read a lot on my kindle app for the iPad, paper books, and then I use Evernote.  Honestly, I am not sure how I survived before Evernote.
