A Simple Beginning

Dear Friends:

My goal here is to facilitate a greater level of access to my life in order to strengthen bonds I have with each of you. I'm not a very complicated person as you know, so many things to follow will not be the most exciting I'm sure. Unfortunately, many of us have traveled and moved to seperate towns and cities, and we must look for new avenues of communication. I value those I care for, and I strive to keep our bonds strong. I hope this venue allows me to strengthen what is already set on a solid foundation.

I hope my adventure into this new medium is a successful one, and that is facilitates communication and concern between me and you. I would love to hear your thoughts and concerns. I simply want to value the bonds we create and maintain. For those of you that don't know me so well, that stumble upon my simple story, I hope that you find welcome.

Here are the basics of my life:

I was born in Kentucky and grew up on a crop farm.
I attended Catholic School all my life and I am currently still a practicing Catholic.
Throughout my youth I played various sports, most notably soccer.
In High School, I abandoned sports to pursue academic goals, and I wasn't good enough to make it on the next level.
I went to Texas Christian University, where I lost my faith for a period of time.
There I graduated Suma Cum Laude with a double major in Finance and Accounting.
More importantly my faith was revived later in my college career by some close friends and the grace of God.
I now work as an Assistant Controller for a Heating and Air Conditioning Company after failing in my pursuit toward youth ministry.
I have never been married, and don't have children.
I desire to pursue my graduate degrees and eventually teach in either a academic or spiritual setting.

Best wishes friends, and may you blessed. We will continue another time.

Chris
