Stereo Subversion - A webzine I launched August 2007 with a designer friend, Rob Alan. The mission is "Meaningful Culture Exists" and we highlight a lot of music with interviews, reviews, downloads, blogs, etc. It's a full service music stop and I love being a part of it.
Soul-Audio - Another music webzine focusing exclusively on the Christian music industry.
Relevant Magazine - I used to write for their Leader publication and website quite a bit, but now I'm focusing on their print magazine only.
HearSay - I write 3-5 reviews per month for this college music monthly print mag.
Rabbit Room - Andrew Peterson's new website features conversation on art and faith and I'm one of the contributors to the site's material.
Lost At Sea - This webzine has printed dozens of my reviews and interviews.
CCM - The newly defunct print mag became a place I wrote various features and reviews for.
HM Magazine - A hard rock magazine that I write various interviews, features and reviews for.
The other half of my life is spent with the community of The Mercy House - a church plant just north of Indianapolis. I have served as the primary teacher and pastor there since we started in the fall of 2004.
