Maybe I'll start with where I am located as of the present moment.
This is where I live for another month and a half. It is a beautiful home located in Northeast Denver. I am living with my sophmore year roommate and teammate all through college at the University of Portland, Kristen Rogers. She will be getting hitched on the joyous occasion of May 27th in which case I get the boot and Eric Taylor steps into his new home.
I am in the midst of changing jobs and starting to work for Outward Bound West here in Colorado. I have a heart for working with youth and being in the outdoors, so the combination of the two? What more could I ask for right?
I played soccer in college, won a national championship in 2002 under the direction of coach Clive Charles, may he rest in peace. He was not only the best coach in the world, but an amazing individual who cared about each one of his players as individuals improving their character while at college, not just improving their soccer skills. I will always remember him, and be grateful for the opportunity that he gave me to play for the best team in the nation. I will be playing on the Denver Diamonds WPSL team this summer in Colorado, http://www.wpsl.info/, they are a semi-professional team that is the closest thing to a pro league that exists currently in the states. I still love the game and have fun playing. Until that feeling goes away, I will continue to play the sport I love.
My family-ah my wonderful family. Currently they all live back in Phoenix, AZ where I originated. My 26 year old brother, David, is married to JJ and they are in the music business. check them out at www.jjheller.com. They just released their third album "Only Love Remains" which was recorded in Nashville, TN in the stuio of Mitch Dane (Jars of Clay, Caedmon's Call, Bebo Norman). My oldest bro, Josh, works as a research assistant for a company that produces medical products and is very good at what he does. My mom works for Arizona Highways Magazine: www.arizonahighways.com where she is an editorial assistant. She is a wonderful mother and very talented writer. She was my teacher, along with my two brothers, until we each reached high school. I wouldn't trade my education for anything looking back; but I think it takes a special person to be able to homeschool your kids while ensuring a balance is present in all facets of growth and education.
Well, I didn't mean for this to get so lengthy, but you have to start somewhere right? Welcome to my blog, questions and comments are welcome :)

Great family. Adventurous life. Good stuff; thanks for the windows into those meaninful aspects of what makes you, you.
Could you walk us through what's going on in that soccer picture? Are you #19 in that pic?
Yes I am #19 and this was a playoff game against Weber State. I was chasing down a through ball (to use a soccer term) at the time the picture was taken. I got to the ball first I might add. :)
