Two 7’s and a 2
It was about a month out—maybe two weeks—when I got a text from the homie, Bianchi: “Yo, what’s your schedule look like at the end of August?” My response: “I can make it look like anything” (haha). Some context: yes, I had a job and other responsibilities, but who can say no to adventure? (And with my […]
Youth Manifesto
A thought I have been ruminating on as of recent is the idea of youth or youthfulness. I turned 29 about two weeks ago and reflecting on my own youth has caused me to contemplate youthfulness much more. In addition to my turning of age, I also recently watched Straight Out of Compton. Did you […]
“I just want some beers and tater tots”
So, I have done some traveling! From Virginia to El Paso to California, I have covered some ground and done a lot! But you know what has been the most spectacular part of all this traveling? It wasn’t the places I went to, the amazing events I attended or what I got to do! What […]
Changing MY World, Changes the World.
Some time ago this adage came across my awareness: Every day at 5:00 pm, Dad would come home after a heavy day at the office. His little boy, who was 4 years old, would come running down the stairs shouting, “Daddy’s home, Daddy’s home” and he would jump into his father’s arms begging him to […]
“Love Does”
“BANGAR?” BANGAR!! What a weekend haha. From Chicago for a bass festival to Austin, for a wedding, and then back to Chicago for a house festival..ahh man. I have two words “Love Does.” Now, I’m quoting Bob Goff here, if you haven’t heard of his book check it out. But, it’s a quote I want […]
Opportunity Camp
Where do I begin? A moment in time that involved months of preparation and then felt like just that, a moment. But, what a moment it was. I had the honor to be the director of camp this year and I was nervous. I had a lot of insecure thoughts and was afraid if I […]
23 Km
Surprised my brodie for his birthday with ACL ‘22. And yo it was a trip! Stayed in a pretty epic hotel, vibed to Big Wild, got a little wild with Pink, moshed to Red Hot Chili Peppers, and chilled to SZA. Most importantly though, just made some memories. You know there’s pretty epic opportunities in […]
Wildfires and Church Camp
From making some lemonade this past week with a switch up in plans to joining Opportunity Tribe as the recreational director. Drank some beer and lost my money in pool and got to see kids surrender their lives to Christ. Life. A journey we can only walk out.
145k
Damn. It’s been a journey with this organization and one I’m both humbled and honored to be a part of. I’m afraid of what’s to come, and whether I’m ready; I’m trying to rely and follow God to the best of my abilities; and all I do know is that I give my soul. Here […]
i’MPOWER
Yesterday was such an honor! I was super nervous as to the turnout and Jesus showed up! Love what I get to do for a living, love the wonderful students, who let me walk out a little bit of a journey with them, and love the people who I get to embark on this journey […]
