My goal is to understand people through sociology and stories. To that end, I will help you understand me through this small portion of my story. Humans are both beautiful and broken, and my hope is that this site will give you a glimpse into my discoveries about this paradox. Throughout this site you will find references and experiences related to my passions. First, my passion for Christ and faith; secondly my appetite for learning; and thirdly people. Welcome to my story and the stories of the people who have impacted me along the way.
