About Me

My Life: I’m a husband to Jenni, father to Chance & Paxton, and most of all, a son to a loving and gracious God.  I fell for a beautiful girl from Bellevue, Washington when I was 24 and married her at 25.  We divorced our old marriage in April 2009 and began creating a new, redemptive marriage from that point forward.  There were six months of pain, joy, conflict and resolution at the beginning of our new marriage.  Our new marriage is so much better than the old one and our love has never been fuller.

My Profession: Looking for work!  Passionate about helping people with real life issues.  Most of my experience is in mortgage and sales.  Licensed financial adviser, experienced network marketer and very interested in all things social media.  God is moving me into some sort of ministry, stay tuned to see where this leads.

Blogger: I’m a beginner blogger, although I’m learning to love it.  At first I only did it because my wife, Jenni (www.jenniclayville.com), made me do it.  She’s a HUGE blogger with real life followers and insists that I do SOMETHING.  So… here I am.
