I understand why someone might look at all the pain and suffering and cruelty in the world, and ask that question. If God is love, why would a loving Father allow His children to suffer? …Or, at the very least, why not stop some of the very worst attrocities?
My dad once said that when he became a new parent, he discovered a whole new capacity for love, like a new heart that he’d never used before, but had been saved just for this purpose. That’s exactly what it’s like.
I recently ran across a song I wrote when I found out we would be having twins. It’s an incredibly cheesy poem, wherein I fantasize about all the fun adventures I’ll be having with the twins: running around and rough-housing, the projects we’d work on together, the conversation’s we’d have… the fun experiences I’d introduce them to.
A friend, who has been suffering from a painful illness for the past few years, was recently advised that healing had not yet come because of a lack of faith, and a lack of speaking as though the illness had already been cured. I was asked for my perspective on healing.
It’s a difficult topic, and one I struggle with myself sometimes, but here’s what I’ve concluded:

I got to do some character voices for two of the most difficult games at an escape room company in the Bay Area: A creepy, insane clown voice for a game called “Joker’s Asylum,” and a prisoner in “The Penitentiary.”
If you like really minimalistic controls and simple gameplay, you might enjoy these two games.
Pixel Planets, is a fun, multiplayer world builder set in another galaxy. The developers at GameDigits, Ltd used my voice for the trailer, as well as for the short cartoon that introduces the first level.
With a fairly steady flow of voice-over requests, I’ve been able to take part in some very unique projects. One of my all-time favorites involves this hack of a classic Fisher Price Talking Chatter Telephone.
The creators of Super Sikh, an action thriller comic about a secret agent named Deep Singh, hired me to narrate their video on Kickstarter a while back. They not only achieved their Kickstarter goal of $5,000, but more than quadrupled it! If you enjoy comics with unique, but realistic, characters, you might want to check it out!
Last year, a developer from Clapfoot Games asked me to do some voice-over work for a game they were working on. That game has now been released for Steam and X-Box, and I’ve been told my name appears somewhere in the credits. If you listen carefully, you might even hear my voice in the trailer.
A few months ago, Fiverr® reached out to me to ask me a few interview questions and provide some photos. They finally posted that interview today!
As a Christian Libertarian, a question that often gets asked is why I would prefer capitalism (the system of greed) over socialism (the system of giving nice things to everybody). At face value, that question makes sense. It sounds like a direct contradiction to my Christian principles.

Like the perpetual drunkard, at SOME point, we’ll have to realize that you can only escape reality for so long before it catches up to you.
The fact is, there are few things more inspiring and exciting to me than getting together with other creative people and learning from each other or developing ideas together.
