Columbus, Indiana

I like to think of myself as an artist who is still trying to find his medium; which translated means, I like a lot of stuff! If you look through my proverbial closet you’ll find cycling gear, two skateboards (a street board and a ramp board), kayaking equipment, running shoes, three cameras (old 35mm Pentax, Canon Rebel SLR, and Canon digital video camera), hiking boots, camping gear, books, music, and gadgets galore.

I like stories that have an existential quality to them, where people are discovering themselves in the course of the movie. Some would be: Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets, Garden State, Once, The Man Who Planted Trees, Babette’s Feast, etc. However, there are times when I just want to laugh and be entertained, and then any comedy will do.

The bulk of my books are focused on Christian spirituality, Church history, and “armchair” theology. I am slowly entering into the realm of classical literature.

I still haven’t been to England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Greece or Spain. So, any of those places would be cool.

I would say Brother Roger of Taizé. Here’s a guy that sheltered Jews and others who opposed Nazi Germany during the WWII; and then started a community after the War to reconcile relationships between Nazi oppressors and those oppressed.; a profound image of an apprentice of Jesus.
