As many of you know, I’ve been in Cambodia since the end of April. We’re on the way back right now. I’m in South Korea at Incheon airport awaiting our flight to Atlanta. This trip has been nothing short of extraordinary. Go to our team blog at phnompenhin2010.com to read about our trip and see [...]

I owe you an apology. I truly wanted to write you every day. I did. I’m back and this time I won’t neglect you. This Thursday, April 29th I leave for my second trip to Cambodia. My anticipation is at nuclear levels. Getting away from American society and Atlanta will be a welcome and much [...]

Dear Family and Friends, I hope this finds you doing well. As many of you know, I have attended Buckhead Church for nearly 4 years. I am writing to let you know I will be going on a short-term mission trip with my church to Cambodia this spring, April 29th through May 8th. Our church [...]

At the end of each year I like to take an inventory of all the new things I did for the first time. 2009 had a lot of ups and downs. JamSmooth is still standing strong. 2010 will be a good year. How do I know? Because I’m going to work hard to make it [...]

I loved Kenya and I want to go back some day. Cambodia affected me in a much different way. The country reached down in my soul and stirred up a lot of questions and misgivings about America, or more specifically Atlanta. I just don’t want to be here. I don’t know where I want to [...]

Feeling a little bittersweet about being home. It’s great to lay down on the bed and take a shower. I’m not sure whose idea it was to place that obnoxious welcome video in Customs at the Airport. Why is it necessary to have this music with blasting horns and sweeping camera shots of the plains? [...]

Hey everybody. Hopefully you’re following me in Cambodia on Twitter and at our team blog. The links are in the post below. There is so much to process and think about already in the short time we’ve been here. I think it’s safe to say that everyone on this team is getting wrecked by these [...]

It’s about 16 hours until our plane takes off for Seoul, South Korea. It’s a 15 hour flight. We have a 2 hour lay over and then board a 5 and a half hour flight to Phnom Penh. Hopefully someone will be there to pick us up. I’m kidding, well sort of. From there we [...]

Admittedly I’m not well-versed in CCM (Contemporary Christian Music). I rejoined the church 3 years ago this month and my exposure has been limited to what is played at our church. I don’t know much about The News Boys, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Third Day or DC Talk, but they’ve got a ton of music out [...]

Hey everybody. I made this short video introducing our team. Isn’t the quality of the Flip Mino outstanding? You can tell I’ve been at Buckhead Church for a while because the video is influenced by their production style. I’m getting better but I’m happy with how it turned out. I’m so excited to be going [...]
