A Disciple of Jesus Christ
I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ in my dorm room, at my computer and with the door wide open on October 18th, 2000. I was a sophomore in college.
Luke 14:28, 33 (NIV)
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? [...] 33 In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.
But it wasn’t until early 2005 that I took the time to “estimate the cost” of my commitment to Jesus. From there on out, I wasn’t content with giving just my free time, but my entire life.
I no longer wanted to execute the plan I had laid out. I wanted to execute the plan God had laid out.
After counting the cost and knowing what Jesus was asking me to do, I quit my job as a computer programmer and started a two year internship at my church. I graduated in June 2007.
A Web Developer by Ministry
My heart is ministry. It is to serve God and bring people closer to Him with everything he has blessed me with (2 Corinthians 3:5; 1 Peter 4:10).
One gift that God has given me is the ability to be able to sit in front of a computer for 40 hours a week. That puts me squarely in the “geek” classification. 
So for right now, my primary ministry to God and the church is as the “web guy.”
A Computer Programmer by Education
I went to college at Case Western Reserve University. Got my B.S. in Computer Engineering. And no, that doesn’t mean I went to college to learn how to fix your computer.
I love . . .
