Life Mission Statement: 

Going where God leads me and being a vessel of His Truth - Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and living the reality of His finished work.  My mission an endless pursuit of learning how to love and serve the people of this world and so doing.

 

Employment:

                My employment has been “odd jobs” done here and there for the past 2 years as I have been in and out of travel.  In between my travels (for individual spiritual retreats, Bible College, and mission) I have earned wages by doing landscaping, house painting, and small construction jobs with an array of various employers (mostly self-employed individuals).   *(“Tent-Making”)

                This being so, it is difficult to give a solid reference of my work ethic as each person I have worked for in these past couple of years has only been for a day, a week, or in some cases, 2 weeks. 

                I have had traditional employment before these two (ish) years, but such was outside of my serious pursuit of Christ and so the ethic that would be described is not a valid representation of the character which is now mine.

               

                That said, my work experience is this:

  • One year – door to door field sales (KIRBY vacuums)

    • 4 months field sales manager

  • One year – Family Christian book store

    • Cashier, bible reference employee (help people find a bible that suits what they are looking for as well as encourage them away from bad translations and towards good ones), stock

  • 4 years – outdoor house painting (mostly spray and back brush)

    • 1 ½ years with a professional team (Kurt Och painting and Pro Painters)

  • 2 years – landscaping

    • Salsbery Brothers

    • Individual employment

  • 3 years – various cashier employments

    • (McDonalds, Burger King, Joe O’Malias, etc.)

  • 6 months – restaurant host

    • Carrabbas Italian grill

 

Education:

High School – Carmel High School (Core 40 Diploma)

College – Ball State University (DNCD)  /  Calvary Chapel Bible College - Murrieta (DNCD)
