Fun Fact: I have a B.A. in Youth & Family Ministry and a M.A. in Spiritual Formation. My capstone project was a study on Generation Z and their spiritual landscape. I currently work as a bartender and make my own mead (honey wine) in my free time. I’ve made Blackberry Lemonade, Blueberry, Pumpkin Marshmallow, Coconut Vanilla, Cranberry, Mandarin Orange, Strawberry Kiwi, Cherry Limeade, and Cotton Candy flavors.
Fun Fact: I was born in the Czech Republic, so English isn’t my first language, and I didn’t start learning it until I was 15. So I have only been speaking/writing in English for half of my life.
Fun Fact: I’m excellent at being passionate for a lot of things but actually good at not too many things. I’m basically the biggest hype-man you could ask for.
Fun Fact: While not a true numismatist, I collect elongated pennies. They’re dorky, don’t take up much space, and can literally be found all over the world. I have over 500; sets from Tokyo Disney, Mount Rushmore, and Universal/Islands of Adventure are my favorites because they remind me of great movies!
Fun Fact: I have met Nia Long in person! I helped her with a problem in her son’s dorm room. She asked if she could have someone install their own locks in the doors, and it was the most baller thing I’ve ever heard.
Fun Fact: I used to be a damn good archery instructor. I could’ve out-dueled Legolas. But that was then. Now? I’m pretty sure the firstborn bozos from Brave could beat me. Time is not kind.
Fun Fact: My wife and I met walking our dogs at the park. My journalism career has featured unique experiences including ride-alongs with a paranormal investigator and a tornado chaser, and I’ve had the honor of doing interviews with voice acting legends Billy West and H. Jon Benjamin.
Fun Fact: I once bought a “teacup” pig at a flea market when I was eight for $5 that turned out to be a full blown pot belly pig upon further growth… It went… well..
