I enjoy reading, listening to talk shows, listening to lectures, listening to sermons, gaming, and watching shows in my free time.

My favorite authors include JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, GK Chesterton and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I'm currently reading Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton as well as following a daily Bible reading plan.

My favorite talk shows are Armor of Truth, Dayz of Noah, Toronto Apologetics, and Worldview Warfighting.

My favorite games include Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei, Dark Souls, Halo and Final Fantasy.

My favorite shows include Naoki Urusawa's Monster, Altered Carbon, Dark, and various documentaries.

My favorite movies include The Essential Church and Nefarious.

I still live by the motto introduced to me in high school as a member of the National FFA Organization: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve.

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,' says the Lord. 'But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Rom. 12:14‭-‬21 NASB1995).

“I remember Christian teachers telling me long ago that I must hate a bad man's actions but not hate the bad man: or, as they would say, hate the sin but not the sinner. ...I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: how could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this all my life -- namely myself. However much I might dislike my own cowardice or conceit or greed, I went on loving myself. There had never been the slightest difficulty about it. In fact the very reason why I hated the things was that I loved the man. Just because I loved myself, I was sorry to find that I was the sort of man who did those things.” - C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
