Music is what I do; Christ is why I do it.

Eventually everything fails me, but when I look at the sunset or the sky, I'm reminded what it's like to be alive.

Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

For me, even if I'm not a fan of the band in general or maybe it's not the style of music I want to put on for my daughter and me when we're waking up in the morning, there's always something that I can learn from it. And I think those are the things that are surprising.

I don’t think we can solve the outside problems until we solve the ones within.

I think of myself as more of a lover rather than a fighter, but sometimes you have to fight for what you love.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
