About Me

Quick Bio:

After serving as church staff for nearly a decade, Adam McLane now manages all things interwebs for Youth Specialties in El Cajon, California. That means that someone pays him to play on the internet all day. Cool, right?

Kristen and Adam have been married 13 years and live in the San Diego neighborhood of Rolando with their rowdy children, Megan and Paul. Despite being old and crusty, the McLane’s are expecting their third child in February 2011.

Deeper Tracks

I grew up in South Bend, Indiana. I’m a lifelong Notre Dame fan and a proud graduate of Clay High School. After high school, I moved to the Chicago area for college (and stuff) before our family moved to Northern California, then the suburbs of Detroit, and now to San Diego.

After 5 years in Romeo, Michigan we moved to the Rolando nieghborhood of San Diego in 2008.

We love our church. (Mostly that we aren’t on staff and can be pains in the neck without getting fired!) And we are learning how to garden organically.
