I’m wildly passionate about ideas and bringing things into existence.

Ever since childhood, I’ve been a dreamer, visionary and someone who once gets an idea in my head cannot let it go. I believe creating is our part of being made in the image of a Creator (hear me talk about that here and here).

Below is a collection of companies, causes, ideas, and side projects that I am involved in — likely with an extremely talented side kick or two.

Ever since being mentored by the late Dwight Hill, scripture memorization has been an influential part of my life. The problem is memorizing scripture sucks. Armed with Truth gives you powerful scripture in the form of temporary tattoos that are placed on the insides of your arms allowing you to memorize scripture anytime and anywhere. They are fashionable and effective. Armed with Truth was started in a hotel lobby at 1am with buddy Mike Mueller who has grown Armed with Truth into a renown kingdom brand.

blocks-for-humanity-logo

Blocks for Humanity converts biowaste into affordable housing blocks for the poorest countries on earth. After working in El Salvador for 5 years while rebuilding a school, we set out to try and and develop an alternative to the cinderblock. The block we have been developing is pressed using low tech machinery into a stackable building block. After a few years of development, we have shelved the project. Contact me if you are interested in this project and want to help overcome some of the obstacles.
