"I am huge into music of all kinds, especially music that draws me closer to God. This takes all forms, but a few of my favorite artists are Sufjan Stevens, Switchfoot, Relient K, Regina Spektor, Tobymac and Grits. I am also a big sports fan – both playing sports and following my favorite Chicago or Denver sports’ teams. I also am a classic movie fan.

I love meeting, connecting and learning about new people – so feel free to drop me a note or comment to say “hi” and tell me about yourself. Shalom"
