Hi, my name is Andrew
I’m a writer, photographer, poet, and musician from Central Florida. I do my best to love God with all of my heart, soul, and mind, and I create from my heart, soul, and mind. My passion in life is connection. I love using my creativity to draw people into connection. To find harmony by connecting their heart, soul, and mind, community by connecting with others, and most importantly, to experience love and growth by connection with God.
I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home with a wonderful mom and dad who taught me to love the Lord. God’s love became the root of my life and identity. I have been a storyteller my entire life. Before I could even write, my imagination was swimming with tales I wanted to share with others. When I learned to write, I naturally began writing stories. When I discovered photography, I wanted to tell stories. During my time at Berklee College of Music, my love for poetry and music blossomed. Now I want to share my story as I journey through this life of faith and growth.
Core Values
These are several of the values which I've been taught and try to center my life around. They are listed in alphabetical order because I see them all as being equally important; just in different ways and at different times.
-
Community
God Himself is community, and He has created mankind to be in community as well.
-
Creativity
When we encounter God, our imaginations are left full of creative ways to express what we think and feel.
-
Goodness
God is good! When the Holy Spirit is in us, one of the fruits is goodness.
-
Growth
God is unchanging, but he is always active. He is constantly causing us to grow in heart, mind, and soul.
-
Harmony
Not only should we strive to live at peace with others, but we strive for peace within ourselves.
-
Reverence
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is almighty and He deserves respect.
-
Thoughtfulness
Balancing skill, feelings, and intention, I'm are never mindless or half-hearted with my creations.
-
Truth
I believe in absolute truth. I don't believe in relativism. Truth is at the core of all I create. I seek the one who is the way, the truth, and the life.
