As an English teacher, I helped students work with their own writing. However, my true passion was my own writing. I could help them with voice, imagery, metaphor, and other techniques, but I could not move past the desire to create my own. As a father, I encourage my own kids to be creative. As a husband, I try to write romantic lines for my wife, who expected a poem a day once she realized she was committed to a writer. As a freelance web designer, I see each website I build as a work of modern art and literature. I see the opportunity to use the internet to connect people and to spread the Word of God through effectively-designed church websites.
