Inspired by a new blog-buddy, Jana… I submit my 16 things:
1. My wife & I started dating when we were 16.
2. My work in church started as a youth ministry volunteer… I still love to speak to youth groups when ever I can.
3. I started working in television production by taking an eight hour public access class at a small cable company, then working for free shooting high school football games for 3 years.
4. My free TV work eventually lead to a fairly long career in sports television that started with local work in Phoenix, AZ, then traveling the US for ESPN, NBC, ABC and many others… then internationally when I was privileged to have worked the games of the 2004 Olympics.
5. I left broadcast television to pursue work in Christian media ministry in 2005.
6. The combined attendance of the 3 churches I have worked for is +/- 28,000 people
7. I need coffee to be human… I don’t drink if for me, I drink it for those I love… OK, I drink it for me!
8. I pierced my ear myself on a dare by a friend when I was 16.
9. I used to do wedding photography.
10. My first job was at Burger King.
11. My first car was a ’69 Chevelle.
12. I was adopted shortly after birth; my 2 kids are the only blood-relatives that I know.
13. I hate rye bread.
14. I suck at golf, but I am amazing at paintball.
15. I can do very little without music playing.
16. I will learn to play the guitar as soon as possible.
Don’t wait for some one to tag you… post your 16 things so we can learn more about you!

Awesome this! I, too, am not human without coffee. I didn’t get one until 9 today (I’ve been up since 5:30) and was on the brink of insanity LOL.
I’m in. I’ll have my 16 things up shortly. Thanks for sharing.
Peace.
Ha. I just did something like this on facebook. I should just cross post it to my blog.
Oh, and just to prove that I WAS reading, you worked on the 2004 Olympics, not the 2008 my friend… : )
Alrighty. I’m all posted up over at my blog. Go take a look and see how much more exciting your life is than mine… π
