About Brad

I’m married to the most outstanding woman in the whole world. Together, Lisa and I have two delightful girls – Chloe (6) and Emily (4). We make our home here in Indianapolis. I love my family more than anything but I still struggle to keep my passions and priorities in order.

I’m passionate about the Church, its influence on culture, and making it better. I’m constantly challenging the process – examining what I do, why I do it and its relevance in today’s progressive culture.

I affirm and embrace beauty wherever I find it. I love listening to a new indie artist, watching a beautifully-filmed movie, or engaging in a compelling discussion about current social issues.

I’m a self-professed geek. I spend way too much time working on my computer, listening to my iPod, or programming web pages. I could spend hours in Best Buy. I’m a big science fiction fan and love superheroes (I’ve always thought I would make a great Spiderman).

I’m a work in progress. The longer I live the more I realize how much I have to learn.

Above all I’m a passionate follower of Jesus and I strive to make him known in everything I do.

I love everything Irish – Irish musicians, Irish movies, Irish Coffee. Ergo, I love St. Patrick’s Day. My Dad was adopted and since we don’t know his actual heritage, I like to think that I have a little Leprechaun in me somewhere up the line…

Was it really less than two weeks ago that I was boarding an airplane for a 23-hour flight to Africa? There are times in my jet-lag-induced stupor where all of it seems surreal. I’ve read the posts I wrote while I was there and it almost seems like someone else wrote them. Maybe someone else did…
