About
"Something clever and profound should probably go here."
Hello interwebs!! People call me Parker and I'm the creative guy for the High School Ministry at Saddleback Church. I LOVE being creative and over the years I've had the opportunity to explore a ton of different ways to exploit the wastebasket of ideas in my brain. I've done everything from creating an interactive touchscreen to building a 14ft long catapult!
I love youth ministry! When I was in high school, I had a really skewed view of who Jesus was and what church was like. I now have the opportunity to show students that Jesus is awesome and church is a ton of fun!

Let's talk!
Some people just like to say "Hi!". Others are in need of a website for their ministry. A few are stuck trying to get something to work in Photoshop, Flash, etc. A handful want to request a tutorial. Exactly five of you have a topic you want me to cover in the Blog. And one of you wants to know when you're getting grandchildren. Regardless if you're my mom or a church in need of some help, I'd love to hear from you!
