Talking about yourself is the worst. I am still trying to get over that, but only slightly over. Just enough to fill this text box. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. When I published this site, I noticed how long I owned the domain name—since 2008. Um, so I guess this has been 15 years on a someday/maybe list. Happy Quinceañera! Here’s what I know. The universe Creator lives in every Christ follower. I think we forget that or maybe we just don’t explore what that really means. I am trying to do that more. For one, it means it’s impossible to not be creative. And two, it means that it’s impossible for anything to be impossible! I may need to rewrite this section. I think I just contradicted myself. This is sounding like a blog post and not anything to do with me. I told you, I am not good at this part. Here is the skinny (also a band I was in back in college): Jesus said, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” I want to be faithful in making that happen. Whatever I am learning and noticing I hope to pass it on to you. I am a pastor and I create. Thanks for listening.

I’m a girl dad—through and through. We went for the third to try and change that. Nope. It’s Sarlo, party of five, and I love every moment—unless someone doesn’t play a sport soon. I’ve been married to my adventurous wife Amy for 17 years and our girls are Elena, Livia, & Sofia. I have no idea how I am going to pay for 3 weddings and 3 colleges. Celibacy could be a way, but they are just too pretty. Oh well.

We live 20 minutes north of Baltimore. We love our city. We love our church [Freedom Church]. After growing up in Florida we moved up north in 2019. I wonder if one day people will stop giving us the slightly angry/surprised look when we tell them that.
