REEL REPLAY| Kauai
If you follow either Jess or myself on Instagram, you probably saw that we went on a family trip to Kauai recently. It was a great trip, though it may have highlighted some chapters being turned in our lives. We traveled there with Elijah, Jess’s parents and her sister Krista. It was a nearly full…

It’s not my job
“It’s not my job!” Have you heard that lately? Said that lately? Well I’ve said both, felt both and possibly encouraged both. Why is that? Is it necessarily even a bad thing? Let’s dive in! Let’s start off with determining the validity of the statement. There are times for the statement, “It’s not my job”…

Up-ended Routines
This winter, I was on the schedule to serve at our church. The roads were dicey due to some recent snow storms, but I had missed nearly a month of services because of travel, work or bad weather, so I shoveled the driveway, brushed off the car and got our little family on the road.…

REEL Replay | Nepal 2018
It’s been nearly a year since I went on a trip to Nepal and while late, I finally did a recap video. Now this is just a piece of the work, with more to come later. It was great to relive my time there. I went there with my good friend Andy Holm to trial…

I started off in high school making slideshow presentations for graduation ceremonies, homecoming events and recap videos for mission trips.

Let’s talk about momentum
It’s all about getting started, all you need is a push. The goal is to harness movement and let it carry you through the obstacles that life invariably provides. What is hard is when you’ve been sitting still for too long. Obstacles that used to seem like mole hills, now feel like mountains. Well… I’ve…

Running: Conflicted Passion
I’ve been running off and on now for years. My earliest memories are from Jr. High, running track and field in the Spring and cross-country in the Fall. I loved running, I just loved it. It wasn’t that I was a driven, competitive athlete, but that I just could go for miles, stuck in my…

Dubai
Part 2 of my adventure to Nepal with Approach Intl. We got into Dubai in the late evening. The flight was long, but not too bad. We both got good naps and felt pretty good upon arrival. Andy booked us a hotel just off the airport for our layover. After going through immigration, getting my…

The Meetup
Part 1 of many about my adventure to Nepal with Approach Intl. Andy was flying in from Bozeman, and I was joining him in Seattle. It was a four hour drive up from The Dalles, so I was able to get in a bit of last minute time with my family before leaving them for…
