My Tweeps

There are many things that matter to me in life, but mostly I center my time around music, Major League Soccer, and my beliefs.  That is why I chose the 3 Tweeps you see on the right.



Music was always a great way for my father and I to bond, which only grew when I began playing drums.  Pretty soon I became infatuated with the different sounds, rhythms, and time signatures that people would use to create a new piece of music.  One of my favorite bands is For Today, a christian metal band.  The vocalist, Mattie Montgomery, is one of my favorite Tweeters to follow.  He often tweets about his music and his faith and how the two have become intertwined.  He is a very intelligent speaker and his Tweets are often thought provoking.  Mattie also has a spoken word project aside from For Today.  His website can be found here.

Sounder at Heart is a blog written about the Seattle Sounders FC, my favorite soccer team.  I, like many Americans, thought soccer was boring.  That is, until I began to understand the tactics and formations that go into a full 90 minute match.  Sounder at Heart is one of those things that helped me to understand the game a little better.  Sounder at Heart is run by Dave Clark and Jeremiah Oshan, two very knowledgeable Sounders FC fans.  They have been covering the Sounders since before they were a Major League team and have come to know the team inside and out.

As I said earlier, my Christian beliefs are a very central part of my life.  One of the biggest influences on that area is Pastor  Greg Laurie (no relation to Hugh).  Greg Laurie is Head Pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, CA.  Just like Mattie, his Tweets are centered around Christianity and are meant to encourage and uplift the many people following him.  Greg Laurie iholds two honorary Doctorates from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University and is extremely knowledgeable about Christian Theology.  He also has a blog that can be found here.
