Hello. I am currently working part-time with the YMCA, but my aptitude, skills and passion are in Music and other digital media. I'm open for a lot of different types of jobs, but what I'm really looking for is to excel in Digital Media editing and production. This could include Audio, Video, Web Content, Text, etc.
Wether it be producing, tweaking, cleaning up, converting, archiving, publishing, recording, proofing, broadcasting, duplicating, etc. Even if I don't know it, I'll learn it and get it done right!
Some of my other skills and experience are as a PC Repair Technician, and Audio/Video Technician. (Sound Engineering)
The icing on the cake for me would be if my work somehow truly benefited society or a ministry =)
Let's put my gifts to good use full-time! =)
Here's my resume in a PDF or view the HTML version below.

Jesus lived.
Jesus died.
500+ testified seeing him alive after his death.
Cowards who knew him became bold after he disapeared.
They sacrifieced their lives for this truth.
This truth that others didn't believe......
the cowards had no ability to be cowards anymore. You can't be a coward to live for a lie when the truth is evident in your soul. The coward will die for his truth rather than live for the lie if living for the lie would show to others that maybe the truth isn't really that true.
The coward will live for the truth that they didn't have the ability to lie for to live. The coward will die. The coward will live.
Opposition of truth transforms a coward into a immovable rock.
some would question........were they a coward? Leaning on a belief as a "crutch"?
or is the one calling it a "cruth" using that "crutch calling" as their personal cruth to avoid looking at the truth?
If I call it a crutch, I can remain a coward and call myself strong by not looking at my need to belive in a truth that may demand me to be more than a coward.
The truth is........
the truth is I may feel like a coward..............but don't mess with my truth or I might just have to step up.
God help me.
be my glory and my strength.
You are not my crutch. You are the strength I have yet to grasp.
I need Your strength.............but I don't know my need because I'm still living as a coward.

Maybe I need a shove.
