Future Aspirations: In 18 months, I am marrying the most wonderful person in the world... Boy do I love her. After that, wherever God leads, possibly preaching, teaching, and/or writing.

Short term goals: Finding an internship, getting married, getting out of Corn!!! (I mean, Illinois.) Lord, PLEASE send me to Boston or Denver...
Passion: Promoting self-awareness and self-advocacy in the disabled community, ministering to their special physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs (I myself am in a wheelchair).
Hobbies: reading, listening to music, writing, philosophy, theology, politics...
Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): Well, I was one misspelled word away from making the National Spelling Bee in 6th grade, I placed third in the State DAR Essay Contest the same year...
I've been involved in a few theater productions on the community, high school, and collegiate stages as an actor and assistant director, and finally I was captain of both the Speech and Scholastic Bowl Teams my senior year of high school.

What you most love to do: Spend time with my fiancee
Your self-confessed flaws: Bad temper (when it flares up), a tendency to do nothing at times, inconsistency
What intrigues/fascinates you: Cosmology, spiritual warfare, mob psychology, apologetics, comic books, the conflict between socialism and capitalism
What scares you: The erosion of our civil liberties and the erosion of the division of church and state which makes faithful proclamation of the Gospel possible
Quotation to live by: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength.
