			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey. Glad you&#8217;re here! I love the web as much as the next guy, but I&#8217;d much rather meet face to face than manage lots of 2-d stuff.  If you&#8217;d like to connect OR if you&#8217;re interested in collaborating on any creative project/idea/job feel free to  <a href="http://pushingenvelopes.org/contact/">contact me</a>.  You can also check out a project that some close friends and I are working on: <a href="http://www.the-prop.org/" target="_blank">The Prop</a>.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.leapyearproject.org" target="_blank">The Leapyear Project</a>:  An invitation to use 2012 as a catalyst for people around the globe to take risks that could change their life, community, or their world for the better. I&#8217;m working with people around the globe to raise the funding and launch the project in fall 2011.<br />
Role: Founder, Risk Taker</p>
<p><a href="http://www.the-prop.org" target="_blank">The Prop</a>: A project group that is focused on connecting people doing good. We believe that relationships are the most powerful means for social change. We&#8217;ve begun with bringing artists and creatives together with non-profits through creative events. In our first year we sparked 8 events in three states and connected 1,500 people to 6 world-changing organizations. The upcoming year(s) will focus on inviting a larger audience and learning how we can become financially viable.<br />
Role: Co-founder &amp; Catalyst</p>
<p><a href="http://ccclife.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=112769">Christ Community Church</a> &amp; <a href="http://http://whatsthehub.org/" target="_blank">The Hub</a>: Worked with a rockstar team of paid staff and volunteers to mentor middle school and high school students.  We developed programs, curriculum , and equipped adult mentors. I also created all kinds of video, design, and events as the Assistant Creative Director for our 1,000+ students and our 40,000 sq ft student building (The Hub). In other words, we had a lot of fun together.<br />
Role: Youth Pastor, Creative Director, &amp; Resident Middle Eastern</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, I speak, teach, and help teams with all types of online &amp; offline creative problem solving.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s true. I have a big mouth. And I&#8217;ve used it for everything from spoken word to lectures about Egyptian culture to sermons to creative brainstorming. It has been said that I share more from my mistakes or from the lessons I&#8217;ve learned from the people around me &#8212; which often creates a refreshing perspective on most topics.</p>
<p>If you are interested in hiring me for speaking, writing, emceeing, etc, <a href="http://pushingenvelopes.org/contact/">contact me</a> for references, pricing, and availability.</p>
