Height: 6 feet

Favorite Food: Mediterranean and Mexican

Favorite Verse: Isaiah 40:31 and Jeremiah 29:11

Favorite Scientific Fact: That there are so many things about life and this earth that can't be explained.

Favorite Scientist and why: Dr. Chadwick. I was really impressed by the amount of knowlege he has but even more impressed by his humility. Talk to him and you'll find out he's an intelligent scientist. Watch him and you'll know that he's a Christian.

Person you admire most and why: My parents because they don't settle for mediocre lives. They are seekers of adventure, knowlege, and most importantly God.

What you liked most about the trip: Traveling nearly 8000 miles around this beautiful country. The Grand Canyon was amazing (of course) but I loved being surprised by the beauty of places, like the forests of Kentucky and the Arizona desert.
(I have to admit i t was also pretty cool walking around with a microphone and cameras following me.)

What you disliked most about the trip: Not knowing enough about science to argue intelligently with Matt, and being at crowded RV parks

What you took away from the experience/journey: Well besides learning how to do the glamorous job of emptying an RV sewage tank, this trip helped me realize how important it is to know what I believe and why. We have to know where we came from in order to really know where we are going.

Career Goal: I want to do mission work. I'll become an Occupational Therapist but I don't want that to limit other possibilities. I'll probably be one of those people with 5 degrees and 30 different jobs before I die.

Favorite place: The wilderness. I can't decide between the mountains or the water...I'll take them both.
