Recently we shot 10 quick fire questions at him…
1. What is your favorite Bible verse and why?
Psalm 37:4 - “Delight yourself also in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of
your heart”. This has been a key verse for me that has guided me through many
seasons of my life. How do we know what God’s will is for us? We delight

heart.
4. What are some of your hobbies?
I have lots of hobbies! I love skiing/snowboarding, wakeboarding, jet skiing,
hunting, hiking, fishing, biking, camping, rock climbing, scuba diving, and playing
soccer. I’ve always loved the outdoors and adventurous sports. It’s how I unwind
and it helps me stay in decent physical shape.
5. What book are you reading at the moment?
I have a stack of devotionals that I read daily. Streams in the Desert is one of my
favorites that seems to always apply to exactly what I’m going through. I am not a
huge reader, but I am also currently working my way through a book called The
