At this site, I wear multiple hats, those of husband, father, apologist, author, speaker, and friend. Here, it’s my desire as a once seemingly hopeless doubter to help make sense of Christianity to those plagued by gnawing questions. Here’s a little taste of my story. In short, I grew up in the land of fruit and nuts. That’s right, you guessed it. California! I wish I could give you a list of all my great credentials growing up. Unfortunately, I can’t. I earned a summa cum laude in sin. If I had to give you a list of words to describe me before becoming a Christian it would look something like this: insecure, angry, confused, uneducated, promiscuous, boozer, addictive, foolish, rebellious, and a decent baseball player.

Obviously, this is a recipe for disaster. While living in Southern California at the age of nineteen my college baseball teammate took me to hear an evangelist by the name of Greg Laurie. I resonated with Greg—a recovering pothead, laid back, and a blue jean wearing Bible teaching evangelist. His message resonated and soon afterward I was following Jesus.
