Outside Interests

Music

I recorded and mixed an EP with my brother a few years back. This song is called “No Senator” and I'm the bloke singing in it.

If that's not your cup of ☕, perhaps you might prefer this song I wrote about Joan of Arc.

Faith

I'm involved in my religious community, I own a YouTube channel that discusses interesting historical events and how faith influences one's life. I've also founded Facebook groups totalling half a million members that I manage with a team of moderators providing emotional support and allowing members to ask for prayer.

France 🇫🇷

In my spare time, I enjoy (read: struggle) learning French. My wife is French and I need to stay ahead of the game before our son speaks it better than I can.
