Reed Verdesoto | Student Ministries Worship Coordinator
Birthplace: Queens, NY, but I grew up on Doylestown, PA. Born a Mets Fan, became a dejected Philly sports fan, and was saved by Pittsburgh sports. Go Steelers! Go Pens! ...Bucs...yeah.
Hobbies: ultimate frisbee, dinner with friends, playing with my dogs, relaxing with my wife, making and playing usic, hiking, camping, Steelers, Pens, watching funny TV shows with my wife and friends, and playing pick-up sports with my friends.
I can't leave home without: giving my wife a kiss goodbye, or without my phone so she can call me; some music either playing on my ipod or in my head; saying goodbye to my puppies Beatrice and Grizz; a change of clothes so that I can play sports, hit the gym, goof with the friends, or get a little dirty.
My favorite drink is: really good, fresh-roasted, fresh-ground black coffee.
I would love to have lunch with: my best friend Michael. We talk about the people we have met (he met the Dalai Lama). I don't get to see him often, but those are my most favorite times when we get to sit down and talk over good food. Other than Michael, someone famous I would like to have lunch with would be Jeff Tweedy from Wilco.
